An extensive world traveler, Vranes gets her inspiration from places she has seen from all over the world. Through her art, she transports the viewer to distant lands where poppies grow wildly in breathtaking meadows; where fragrant Lavender is farmed in lush rows in France; or where aspens quake in the Rocky Mountains. Vranes finds the secret utopias that often go unnoticed and she captures it on canvas for the whole world to stop and take notice. Her passion to capture the dazzling beauty of nature stems from having grown up in a small country town in Southern Oregon. Perhaps it is her upbringing that inspires her subject matter which consistently portrays large, open spaces and white houses—much like the house she grew up in.

Vranes comes from a family of artists—all from her mother’s side. She has three uncles and one aunt who are artists. Thus it was no surprise to Vranes’s parents when at a young age she began showing signs of immense creativity. Vranes knew that she was meant to bring joy to others with her artistic talent, and in April 1998, she graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree. It was after her graduation that she met and married Matthew Vranes, a native of San Francisco. Moving to that city had always been a life long dream for Jennifers, so after he graduated in Engineering, they moved to San Francisco to see what the exciting art scene had to offer! It was there her art career took flight. Vranes’s unique and colorful paintings of European Landscapes were seen in Shows throughout San Francisco. Her work was quickly recognized by highly acclaimed Art Galleries as paintings that would be pleasing to their Clientele, and they began to successfully market her work.

After establishing her Art career in San Francisco, Vranes decided to return to her roots in Southern Oregon, where she and her husband, Matthew, intend to rear their three young sons and continue to grow the family Art Business. Matt works full time managing her website, marketing her work, talking to Clients and keeping up with the Galleries. He spends much of his time wrapping and boxing up paintings to ship all over the world.

Most importantly, Vranes is doing what she loves most—sharing her talents to uplift and beautify the homes and lives of others.
