Jennie Renner is a Hoosier native who has lived in the Fort Wayne area for most of her life. She believes that art, in all its forms, makes everything better.
After achieving a degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University in Bloomington, Jennie returned to northeast Indiana to start her career and found her way to a development position at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. It was here that she began to appreciate the importance of good writing.
Today, Jennie is the Development Manager at
