Floravita’s background includes an extensive education in the arts. By the age of four she began her studies in dance and shortly thereafter she proceeded to art and piano instruction with the same intensity to excel in each new endeavor. Jenny went on to win awards with her art and dance through her school years and to continue on at the University of California Santa Cruz where she completed her formal education in art.

“The
tropics have always been a place that I hold dear in my heart; the air and it’s dense humid nature; the scent of the Caribbean;
the hues and textures of the cocoa palm— I love everything about
the tropics.” It was in Florida while attending a reception of her
work at an international gallery that Floravita discovered the wonderfully
serene and world re-known Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens.
“I knew that my career as an artist would be forever changed by this
enchanting eighty-three acre tropical wonderland. I realized that Florida
was only a wonderful beginning of a whole lush equator awaiting me! It
is my life’s mission to continually visit these gorgeous climates
throughout the world and gather together the wonderful feelings, sounds,
smells and sights through my passion for painting.”
