Jennie grew up on a farm in rural Quebec and has a Fine Arts Degree from Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. 

Working in textile based mixed media, Jennie uses repurposed cloth and contemporary fabrics to create works layered with stitch, photo transfer, and paint. Combining personal imagery from birds to labyrinths, with various colour palettes and stitched textures, these quilts remain fundamental objects of craft despite losing their functionality.  Her work has been displayed in solo and group exhibits in British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario, the U.S, and Italy. She also contributes to social activist art projects from all over the world including Australia and Mexico.

Jennie works with community members through artist residencies and community art calls to expand knowledge about quilting, textiles, and unpaid labour.

She lives with her husband and two sons on Burnaby Mountain and her studio is located in Braid St. Studios in New Westminster which is the unceded Traditional Coast Salish Lands of the Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ), Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) Nations.
