About the Artists
Born outside Los Angeles, Jenna Fournier has been actively involved in
the world of contemporary art for several years, first selling her work
informally on the Las Vegas strip. Jenna moved to the Cleveland area in
2005 to be closer to her family.  Since then, she has entered her work
into various art competitions, including this past year's Sparks Show in
Cleveland where she earned Best in Show.  In addition, to painting,
Jenna is also a songwriter and performer, focusing in the sub-genre of
acoustic indie-rock. 
Lauren Voiers, a senior at Westlake High School, has already been
recognized at the regional, state and national levels, winning numerous
awards for her highly original work. Painting since the age of 13,
Lauren has already had pieces shown across the country, including her
painting "Transparency", which was displayed at the Reeves Contemporary
Gallery of Art in New York City after winning the National Gold Key
Award, the highest distinction awarded at the annual Scholastic Art
Show.  In 2006, her painting, entitled "Sisters", was recognized as a
finalist at the Ohio Governor's Youth Art Competition and was exhibited
at the State building in Columbus.  Lauren has also had eight paintings
recognized at the Scholastic Art Show, earning a Gold Key, a Silver Key
and an Honorable Mention for her entries in 2008.
