- Health & Fitness
Earlier in my life and, likely yours too, we put aside our desires, interests, and passions to care for and support others: employers, spouses, and children. Once we reach 50 plus, we are tired of this constant outside focus. We’re ready to devote energy to ourselves, to restore our passion. I know I was an award-winning poet before family life took over.
Because I wanted to reignite my own creativity, I was excited to meet and learn about art from Jennifer Croney Chernak.
In this episode, Jennifer tells us her story about when she knew she was an artist.
She shares her life journey of how she developed and grew her skills as an artist from childhood through liberal arts college at Mount Holyoke to working as an English then art teacher. While working, she continued to push boundaries in her own art.
Even more than her journey, she shares specific art techniques using various media and surfaces for her painting. Discover her innovative and non-traditional approaches.
What I love is how she combines urban and natural space in her art, focusing on the interface between nature and human constructs like buildings.
Based in Philadelphia, she has a perfect location for exploring and pushing boundaries between human beings and the natural world.
Jennifer gives us valuable advice for how to color outside the lines- transform your life as a 50 up woman by following your creative passion on your own and within communities.

About: Jennifer Croney Chernak lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her preferred mediums include acrylic, charcoal, caron d'ache, plaster, and mixed media. Her art explores the complexity of landscape through personal observation influenced by emotion, psychological impulse, and imagination. Chernak studied art at Mount Holyoke College, has attended several artist residencies, and currently teaches visual arts at the William Penn Charter School. She will soon join Orquevaux Artist Residency in France. "When I am outside, it is impossible for me to detach from thoughts of erosion, pollution, land overuse, and toxic human impact. These thoughts occur simultaneously with feelings of awe over the beauty of the sky, bodies of water, and land," said Chernak. Visit: Instagram: @Jenn_C_Chernak_art
