As a child, Jenador's adventurous father bestowed a transient and sometimes precarious lifestyle upon his large family.

Living for a period in the intractable opal fields of Australia, Jenador, her parents and her many siblings learned to mine opals and became involved in the rare art of gem opal pictures.

This technique involves a refined process of selecting and cutting the opal and then embedding the opal into the etched, solid black glass.

After much complicated experimentation over the past 30 years, Jenador has perfected the formula, meticulously selecting each gem for its brilliance and stunning lustre.

The largest known works of this type, Jenador's art depicts a variety of subject matter.

Jenador participates in numerous exhibitions in Australia and abroad.
