ARTIST STATEMENT: An artistic and professional career of 38 years, known in 37 countries for her 18 year series on The Discovery Channel, “Lynette Jennings Design”, in which Lynette taught architecture, design and an appreciation of the fine arts to over 80 million households twice daily, five days a week, and as well, her regular appearances on “The Today Show”, “Regis and Kathy Lee”, “Good Morning America” and “CBC Newsworld” Canada.
Jennings began her arts curriculum early in high school, majoring in fine art and music at Sacred Heart Academy, Springfield, Illinois. Receiving a full scholarship, she studied performing arts at Fontbonne College, DePaul University and then on to the University of Michigan where she transferred into Architecture and anthropology. At the age of 24 Jennings moved to Toronto and started her architectural firm, and with her partner grew a two man office to a staff of 23, in just two years, under the name of Marketecture. It was from the international success of her firm that she was invited to participate in the media. A weekly live radio show, the editorship of a national magazine, regular newspaper columns, videos and web streaming, gave Jennings the opportunity to teach the North America about architecture, design and art.
Jennings writing career includes 19 years as Art and Architecture editor of “Canadian Living Magazine”, after which she redeveloped “Select Homes and Food Magazine” as Editor in Chief for Telemedia Publishing. Two of Jennings books published by Meredith Corporation, “No Compromise” and “Straight Talk on Decorating”, have each sold over 120,000 copies.
No stranger to the corporate world, Jennings clients include Fortune 500 industry giants, Royal Doulton, IKEA, American Standard, Benjamin Moore, The Home Depot and many others, where she has coached their new product development teams and led them in trend forecasting.
For her groundbreaking work in design, art and the media she has won numerous awards for “elevating the standards and awareness of the arts within the public domain.” (New York Times)
