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
Brightpoint
, a local social service organization. Although her career path led her in a different direction, she has always thought of herself as an artist. In her work, she uses her creativity every day and has come to fully embrace the effective use of words as an artform.
In addition to writing for her full-time job, Jennie’s work can be found in
Glo Magazine
and Input Fort Wayne
