Oct 2003 - Present
Bright, 3D looking and serene.. The many subjects and settings that I choose to paint are the simplest at heart, soothing to both the eye and the mind. I'm currently experimenting with smaller scale and very simple collage/ mixed media pieces of a collection I called Happy Food Faces. I am also collecting various objects to create mixed media/ sculptural pieces that represent how I feel and exist as individual living with a very difficult case of Crohn's disease and all the imuno-suppression that comes with it. My goal is to bring humor and perspective to the struggles of the Gastrointestinal kind. I want to use my art to help others, by raising awareness and giving back in the way that I know best. **I apologize for not having a link to an online gallery that functions on here, yet. I have one on a free website, if you can get to it http://jenkersztyn.ispyart.com . Show less

I love customer service as a Sales Associate, helping to assess and problem solve a specific customer request.. I love working in the fitting rooms, sales floor, greeting, shipment and replen processing. I could tear open those bags at lightning speed, stack, sort, fold and hang. I practiced good 'speed hanging techniques' and have fast reflexes. I gave 110% of everything I had during my shifts and was proud of the work I accomplished as an individual and as part of a team.
