Step into my world of color...

Greenville, S. C. native and award-winning artist Jennifer Mills is a storyteller, formerly on camera, now on canvas. Her vibrant oil paintings showcase the same joy and energy with which she graced the airwaves for over three decades with The Travel Channel, Golf Channel and NBC Sports.
"Sharing color is exciting, whatever the medium. In television, I told stories with words and video. Now, I do it with paint, canvas, and a brush."
The '84 Wake Forest alumnus began painting in 2015. She received the prestigious Betty Taylor Award for Emerging Artists in 2018 and used the grant to study under some of the country's finest artists.
Jennifer calls life her favorite subject matter. Vibrant mountain scenes, lush flower-filled landscapes, and local landmarks all come alive through her palette.

"Art is a metaphor for life. There's always something new to learn. Mistakes can turn into masterpieces. My answer is to be grateful, continue learning and evolving and just keep painting."
