I studied Graphic Design at George Brown College in Toronto and worked as a graphic designer for over 20 years before I was called to the softer side of art. Namely, working with wool.  Since 2022, my work has been juried into over 40 shows across Canada and the US and has won several awards.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eI currently work out of my home studio in Toronto, Canada.​\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eI create textured landscapes using wool to express how I physically and emotionally experience nature.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eWhile the work may feel calm at first, it holds an underlying tension shaped by my experience with mental health. Creating beauty becomes a way of moving through difficulty, where comfort and unease coexist.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eThe work does not resolve these ideas but holds space for stillness and tension, inviting reflection on emotional cycles where sadness and joy gradually transform into one another.\r\u003cbr\u003e \r\u003cbr\u003eAnd finally, a familial inheritance of textile-making emerges instinctively, as if the material itself carries history and knowledge, offering the comfort of knowing that I am home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"restive","title":"Restive","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e42.25x29x2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545311121511,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776639204_82127.jpg?v=1776639227"},{"product_id":"upon-reflection","title":"Upon Reflection","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e32x22x1\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545319313511,"sku":null,"price":1900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776639818_43811.jpg?v=1776639840"},{"product_id":"another-wave-from-you","title":"Another wave from you","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e41x34x2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545322590311,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776640278_21241.jpg?v=1776640297"},{"product_id":"fall-on-muscote-bay","title":"Fall on Muscote Bay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e29x29x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42596125311079,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776639334_42423.jpg?v=1776688788"},{"product_id":"untitled-1-vaka","title":"Untitled #1 Vaka","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e43.75x30x2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42596126195815,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776639696_13444.jpg?v=1776688809"},{"product_id":"superior-sunset","title":"Superior Sunset","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFelted wool on felt pad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e40.25x28.75x2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennifer Raetsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42596126589031,"sku":null,"price":4000.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/files\/1_1776639945_41506.jpg?v=1776688820"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/3038\/4487\/collections\/1_1776639204_82127.jpg?v=1776639230","url":"https:\/\/helloart.com\/collections\/jennifer-raetsen.oembed","provider":"helloart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
