Jennifer Breen is a digital artist and graphic designer who specializes in nature photography and customizable graphic designs which are available through her website. She also extends her services to in the form of logo creation, business swag, designs for family gift purposes. On some of her prints and designs, she includes her profound poems and quotes, which are nature inspired. As a child, she was raised in a small northern suburb of Port Perry, Ontario. From a young age, she had an interest for peering through a camera lens, writing, and reading about the natural world that surrounded her. She has always felt "true to herself" when surrounded by the canopy of trees, streams, and forest creatures. Thus the inspiration of her business name, True2Nature Imagery. Jennifer attended Durham College from 1990-1992 and obtained a 2 year diploma in Advertising Administration. In 2019 she was the successful winner of the Howick Agricultural Society logo contest. Also, when attending Durham Collage, one of her photography class assignments featuring her black and white image was featured on display inside the collage. She currently lives in Elmira where she has run her home-based business since the summer of 2021. She also creates handmade custom nature-themed crafts using natural items and is known to intermix all of her skills to create one-of-a-kind items such as her recent nature scented candle inspired by a location, imagination, and an image. She is always interested in partnerships and community connections with like-minded passions and purposes.
