I also attended Washington University and  SIUE minoring in art.		Jennifer Everett I studied architecture, but have always had a passion for visual arts. There are definitely structural influences in my work, but I am also heavily influenced by the  raw and unapologetic imagery of street art and hip hop culture. I think beauty is found in many unexpected places when we open our eyes.
