Artist statement:
My name is Jennifer DeSantis, but you can call me LadyJennD.
I am a visual DJ. Much like a DJ remixes sounds to create new music, I take samplings of imagery and text and combine them, meld them, mesh them. Bits and pieces of random media become my greater message, my “song”.
I mix from things people normally overlook and layer on imagination, depth, and sub-text.
I want you to “hear” my imagination, as I express it, not necessarily with words, but with these colors and symbols. A dazzling array of details all “synched” to create a much larger overture.
"Many of my pieces reflect the oddities contained in the philosophic subconscious and have deep meanings I hope resonate with the you. My art comes from the mind, heart, and soul simultaneously." ~ LadyJennD
