ABOUT US
LOVES GALLERY is located in the HEART of the HAMPTONS!
50 Hill Street Southampton, NY
Owner/artist Jennifer Contini opened up her Pop Up Gallery in the summer of 2021.
The gallery represents several artists both locally and from around the United States.
​
Jennifer was born in a small town in Ohio and has carried on a love affair with New York City since she gravitated to lower Manhattan in 1993.
​
“I live and work in a place that beats to the same drum as I do. The fast urban pace of Manhattan is home, and my vibrant Downtown neighborhood defines and inspires my work. This is the space where my artistic vein finds higher meaning.”
​
While versatile in all mediums, her gallery work is concentrated in representational mixed media work.
​
Jennifer’s technique of using mixed media – including acrylics, metals, resins, plastics, marbles, maps and signs enrich her paintings. She expresses herself best through the diverse materials and objects that she interacts with everyday. Her canvases contain a myriad of messages that come from what the city transmits and also from her strong spiritual beliefs.
​
Jennifer is committed to supporting communities and often participates in and donates artwork to charity events.
In June of 2010, Jennifer curated and hosted “COMBINING GRACE: A Tribute to Gilda Radner.” A group show consisting of 16 female artists raising money for Gilda’s Club downtown New York City.
​
In July of 2009, a live-auction sale of Jennifer’s work raised thousands of dollars for a fundraiser to benefit a homeless shelter in Midland, Texas.
​
Jennifer has exhibited internationally in Rome, Germany and Paris, France.Her collectors are from all over the world. She believes that supporting charities that she cares about, is a big part of her inspiration, feeding into and motivating her art!
​
Jennifer has a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History from Purchase College, SUNY, and is a mother to three amazing children.
