Her earliest memories are of playing with her primary school friends on the outskirts of a city where workers were building lots of new apartment blocks. 7 The amount of skill involved impressed her greatly, and Jenny says that this early experience led her to become interested in sculpture. She was a clever student and went to a very good school. It was a wondertul place to study science and languages, but not art. [18 In fact, most of the staff thought it was something pupils were either good or bad at, and didn't need special instruction. Luckily one of her teachers recognised Jenny's talent and gave her art lessons in the evenings after school. No-one was surprised when Jenny chose to apply to study art at college. She had the opportunity to develop her skills in sculpture, creating huge statues of animals, mainly out of materials such as wood, stone and metal. [7 Recently she has even started to make them out of paper. Some of her sculptures are extremely realistic, but others are unusually shaped. Art experts love her originality and she has won many awards and prizes. Jenny gets her ideas for her sculptures in a number of different ways. 20 She also likes to look at other people's art.
