Jennifer began her work life as a commercial painter, where she first fell in love with mixing colors. She is the first woman to obtain a full Boston Builder’s License (1986); worked on the tallest cast-in-place skyscraper in New England; and had a lead role on both of New England’s mega-projects, first as construction manager on the Deer Island Treatment Plant, then as mitigation director on the Big Dig.  In 1999, she launched Pinck & Co., a Project Management firm to serve non-profit, public sector, and institutional clients.

Jennifer is an ardent supporter of art and artists. Formerly, she served as a Trustee of the Montserrat College of Art and is now Chair of the Board of Directors at the Boston Center for the Arts.  She and her wife Kelle are also avid collectors of treasures found at galleries, studios, and yard sales.

Jennifer studied Latin and Greek and earned her MBA at Simmons College.  She is a Gloucester resident and Massachusetts native with significant connections to Provincetown and its artist colony.  

Jennifer Pinck is fascinated by and focused on the parts and pieces of the natural and built worlds and how the two interact. Observing and interpreting the landscape, buildings and structures, shadows and light, color and geometry are integral to her creative process.   

As an artist, Jennifer draws on her decades of converting two-dimensional plans into three-dimensional structures (buildings, bridges, tunnels). The same attention to detail she brought to her career now informs her daily commitment to oil-painting. Though she studied painting under her friend, David Evans, a protégé of Claude Howell, her love of color, drawing, cartooning, and painting served primarily as an occasional diversion.  Then, when the pandemic hit, almost-retirement found her living in the Annisquam Woods, where she embraced the isolation as an opportunity to immerse herself in creating works of art.  

Her paintings reflect a turn from her storied career in the design-and-construction industry to her current journey as an artist. 

She’s now nestled into her painting studio, establishing her full-time practice, and exploring mediums and compositions.
