A North Carolina native who made Charleston, SC her home in the 1990’s. "I remember well my first time painting as a child when I was given a paintbrush and water and used a concrete block wall as my canvas. I have always been inspired to create and make. As a child I was drawn to creativity and I made illustrated children’s book, cartoons, and works on paper. I studied Studio Art at Wake Forest University and felt inspired and excited when I took my first oil painting class. I have been inspired to paint since that moment. My work is intuitive and abstract with an intensity created by the layers, colors and strokes of paint. I enjoy painting on large canvases and making small paintings on paper."

Jenkins' work has been privately collected and shown in venues along the east coast. Gallery representation and solo shows include: Charleston City Gallery, Tiemaker’s Gallery, Dewees Island, and Corrigan Gallery.
