Jennifer Skopp specializes in creating watercolor portraits of homes, buildings, and storefronts.

About the Artist

Jennifer grew up in Brooklyn, New York and is currently based in Springfield, New Jersey. She graduated from Pratt Institute, where she studied illustration and has over twenty years experience working as an illustrator. Working primarily in watercolor and gouache, Jennifer’s work has appeared in many magazines and newspapers.

Jennifer enjoys speaking to clients and learning about the history of the house and family who lived there. Her travels have also been the inspiration for paintings of shops and restaurants.

Jennifer waited thirteen years for a parking spot in her Brooklyn apartment building, but now that she lives in New Jersey, she enjoys an abundance of parking!
