about
jenifer lake's passion for clay started in middle school when she had access to her first ceramic studio class & fell in deep with the potters wheel & handbuilding. this has continued off & on for just shy of 4 decades now. she's always learning new things & ways to expand on her clay adoration & repertoire & furthering her knowledge from her bfa she earned in 1997. jenifer’s main medium she works in is clay. she tends to work in collections & series; her inspiration ranges from considering, musing about, & paying respect to all within our natural world & cosmos > she often dwells in contemplative spaces & pays homage to meditative practices whilst making work surrounding & engaging on all sorts of levels with this ever evolving world we live in. sometimes this is celebratory in form, sometimes elegiac, oftentimes sacred, & with a nod to embracing joy & sorrow. jenifer has been showing her artwork, making handmade items, & selling in shops & fairs since the late 90’s. jenifer has shown her work throughout the united states in many galleries, boutiques, art show exhibitions & show halls - her work is in quite a few private collections. she has been teaching art to kinder through 8th grade at a small french school downtown san francisco since 2001 & is the art curriculum head as well.
jenifer has been teaching in various settings for 30 years. she’s taught at camps, workshops, studios, conferences, & in many classrooms to ages 5 years old to 70+.
she currently is a kindergarten through 8th grade visual arts teacher in a private french catholic school downtown san francisco & is in her 25th year there.
even though she has a southern heart & hails from the southeast & eastern seaboard originally, she feels lucky to call san francisco her home & considers california her forever spot. the only other places she'd rather be is traveling, floating in a pool, camping in the desert in her vw camper van(s), dancing in a second line in new orleans, or staring at the rooftops at sunset in paris.
