Meet Jennie

 Jennie Traill Schaeffer is a teaching artist, who recently relocated her home studio to Durham, NC, via West Orange, NJ. TraillWorks: Studio on the 3rd Floor was born and grown in New Jersey over several decades after graduating from Syracuse University with a dual major in Painting and Art Education. Jennie's artistic foundations began in Easton, PA, where she was born and raised. 

Rooted in subject matter that venerates objects and places, her works asks the viewer to stay a bit longer, look deeper and to slow down. She is informed by a developing meditative practice and exploration of her surrounding environments. While most of her work is non-figurative, her work strives to embody figurative energy.
