Jennifer's passion for art solidified when she was a child; Inspired to
capture the Canadian Rockies, sunsets, water and horses --which quickly
morphed into unicorns!
At 18, Jennifer pursued the next level of her artist journey with a fine art Foundation program at Red Deer College-- Art & Design Diploma (1997).
She set sail to Eastern Canada continuing her formal education at NSCAD-Nova Scotia College of Art & Design; Graduating with BFA Interdisciplinary Degree: Major in Fine Art, Minor in Drawing (2001). Then onto Dalhousie University, Jennifer achieved a Costume Studies Diploma-graduating in high standing/Dean's List (2005).
Moving back to Alberta provided Theatre contracts in the Wardrobe Department at the Banff Center for Fine Arts and Citadel Theatre opportunities-- the opera 'Filumena', ballet "Romeo & Juliet', stage plays 'A Christmas Carol' & 'Peter Pan'(2005-6).
Jennifer's first love is story and the artistic telling of a tale! Along with her sister Rebecca, they began to Dream bigger and the company they founded in 2003-Aquarian Creations Inc... took center stage.
In 2007-8, Jennifer and Rebecca opened 'Sirens and Swords Gallery & Studio', hosting 'The Tide is Turning...' and 'Ostara: Freedom Festival'; as showcase for art, character and story through paint. Then published a children's book in 2011 'The Oonahnahmae Universe'--Written by: Rebecca Christenson and Illustrated by: Jennifer Christenson.
Through Art & Bellydance, Jen found a renewed sense of spirit dancing her way from small town Alberta to Vancouver, where she finished Fashion & Film Make-up Artistry Diploma 2013. Rebecca soon joined her, living in downtown Vancouver, taking Script writing at VFS (2014); While Jennifer is working as an Fine Artist, Costumer, Make-up Artist and Designer in film/indie/TV. She loves life in Vancouver!
A 2014 highlight was working as Set Decorator on Bedbugs: A Musical Love Story (Crazy 8's 2014), which made it to CANNES Film Festival.
Next on the horizon for Jennifer and Rebecca is the Design, Concept and Story for original AQ Feature Film/TV/Short projects and anything else they dream up.
Of course Jennifer continues to dance.
