Here are Jennifer's notes about her largest painting to date, Frisson.

We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis."
― LeeAnn Taylor

"Frisson" took one year to complete. The idea of the butterfly breaking out of its cocoon was evident to me as I first started this piece... but it was put on hold for months before I had clarity on how I wanted to finish it. I created a small 6"x6" piece for someone I had met that meant a lot to me and helped me mature over the past year. By the time I was ready to finish "Frisson" I knew that it was about my time living and healing and growing myself in Atlanta over these years. It was about my personal transformation from the inside out. and blossoming. I finally shed what was holding me back and became the butterfly...
**FRISSON**

_The butterfly counts not months, but moments and has time enough - R. Tagore_

People, experiences, places that move me, shake me, make me come alive. They connect me, grow me, continually resonate and remind me what is important and lasting. This is the impetus behind this work and what unceasingly inspires my heart, my art, my life.

I found myself surrounded by thousands of gorgeous butterflies fluttering all around me- the newly born, the strong and healthy, the slowly fading. The engulfing of beauty upon entering the butterfly house led me to tears of joy, the result of a moment of amplified frisson. I have long identified with the emerging butterfly, hibernating in its cocoon, then transforming and breaking free to fly on newfound wings.

This series emanated from the cyclical experiences of birth, life, and death, informed by the colors of butterfly wings and the lushness of spring and summer. There is a purity to the connection between the intensity of these moments and the people with whom we share them. It creates in me a communal whole and inspires me to create work that might spur the viewer to their own personal frisson.
