My name is Jen Worden.
I live in rural Nova Scotia and after living for 30 years at Meadowood (@meadowoodfarmns) we designed, built and live in our current lakeside home.
I am happily married to my best friend. We have three children and 2 1 Jack (RIP Stella 😞❤️). We used to farm. Then designed websites at the dawn of the internet (1994!). Now I do THIS.
I can … milk a cow, make cheese, give an injection, remove stitches, slaughter poultry, get an ornery horse over a jump, make a mean crusty loaf, sew a man’s 3-piece suit, tell you the Latin names of most perennials, roll my tongue, do a triathlon (okay so maybe not NOW!😃 ).
Art has been a life-long obsession. It keeps me sane.
I'm happy you're here.
Artist Statement
I have attempted to write something here no less than THIRTY times.
Something profound.
Or unique.
Or at least amusing.
I've even tried AI generated statements (some were pretty great) but still give the impression that I know what I'm doing. I don't.
I flit from one medium to another on a whim to scratch the itch of, "Hmmm. What if I did this..."
No plan. No inspirational discourse on deep problems.
I make art so that my brain monkeys don't rip me apart.
Not much of an "Artist Statement" but at least it's true.
Thank you for visiting!
