My name is  Jennifer A Kauffman, but most  just call me  JAK!

I guess you could call me a jak-of-all-trades because I have done so many different things personally and professionally throughout my life. I recently moved to Colorado from San Francisco, where I lived for over 35 years and with that I moved away from my professional career and into a life I enjoy more personally and spiritually.

In San Francisco, for my first 15 years, I started my professional career as a graphic artist. Soon I became an art director/producer where I designed and produced corporate events and traveled all over the world with many of the Fortune 100 companies for which San Francisco is known.

In the second part of my 15 years in San Francisco, I was a very successful Realtor. I enjoyed working closely with all the buyers and sellers I represented.

1

Then COVID hit, and I decided to get out of the city and move to  Colorado, where many of my family members live, including my son Stephen, and grandsons Emmit and Quentin.

Once in Colorado, I reinvented myself!

I have always had a passion for horses and had a horse of my own in San Francisco...Beau, who I brought with me to Colorado (Beau has passed but you can still see him in my logo on this page).

I quickly joined the Colorado horse community and with that I became a therapeutic horse-riding instructor at a ranch called Miracles Therapeutic Riding Center. Then I developed a  Youth Riding Program at a ranch called Carlisle Equestrian Center and now I am working at Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center where I work with disabled people of all ages, ride horses.

​And now to get back to my art, I got a very part time job working at a gallery in Lafayette CO, called the Collective. At the Collective. I am a substitute gallery docent and help with the gallery and many events. Working at the collective inspired me to get back into the arts and that is where I find myself today.
