“The only life worth living is that which is creative.” Those are words that Jennifer Burgan began living by, even before she started her professional career as an artist in 1996. The daughter of a professional photographer and outdoor enthusiast, Jennifer has lived a life that sees the world through a creative lens.
Beginning in 1996, as an interior design assistant, where she created original works of art for people’s homes, she concurrently began studying under her father as a photographer. Preferring to capture natural light and unspoiled moments, Jennifer has always chosen the road less traveled when it comes to documenting the images that she sees around her. This passion for getting outside has led to a love affair with hiking, camping and fly fishing, in tandem with her life as a visual artist.

As a painter, illustrator, and designer, she has a strong desire to pass on her knowledge of a life in the arts through both her university professor and high school art educator positions. Like herself, she empowers her students to seek out opportunities for growth rather than being anchored to past accomplishments.
Jennifer is the California Art Club Co-Chair of the San Gabriel/Pomona Valley Chapter with her
husband, Christopher Burgan. In addition, she is a proud member of American Women Artists, and the California Plein Air Painters.
