Overview

Jennifer Troice always possessed an aptitude for art and the elements that came with it-the patience for the process, a keen eye for craft, and the heart to pour expression into a still sculpture. Her journey, however, wasn't a smooth one. It was wrought with heartbreak, perseverance, vulnerability, resilience, and recovery. Her first art collection attests to her strength and shows how, like clay, she transformed her pain into beauty. In this bilingual edition, My Silver Lining: Healing Through Art brings to life the story of Jennifer's sculpting career. Her versatile work-such as a one-ton bronze tree, geometric sea creatures, and casted alloy abound with color-is on display in both Mexico and the United States. From her first collection to the latest, Jennifer shows her healing through her art and how her talent has helped others heal as well. Filled with personal stories, detailed photographs, and a picture-by-picture recounting of the casting process, Jennifer's life and art is a testament that, no matter the situation, everyone can find their own silver lining.

"""My Silver Lining is profound. With such depth and breadth beyond the obvious beauty, I stand in awe of the magnificent amount of work that goes into every one of these masterpieces. I truly had no idea the heart, the soul, the skill, and the patience that goes into each piece before this; my appreciation level has gone up one-hundred-fold. Bravo, Jennifer!"" --Sheree Wilson, Producer, Businesswoman and Actress on Dallas and Walker, Texas Ranger ""As an art therapist, it is my pleasure to see more artists sharing their talents for the good of the community and spreading awareness of the intrinsic value of visual expression. My Silver Lining can inspire others to create for connection and healing in our world."" --Andrea Davis, CEO and Founder of Dallas Art Therapy, Board-Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor ""Jennifer has the ability to make us all feel seen and be heard through her art. Sculpting is an intense process, and she has mastered it. Her skill and passion are unlike others. Each piece has a meaning and a story, and to have the ability to express so much through languages other than English and Spanish is an inspiration."" --Esther Lewin, Early Childhood Teacher at the Early Childhood Education Center in Dallas, Texas ""Jennifer's journey speaks to the power that lies in choosing to shape adversity into beauty and impact. Her artwork--and her life's work--is a vivid testament to everything that comes from being not the victim of what happens to us, but the master storyteller of our lives. I'm excited for others to know her story and be inspired to find their own silver linings."" --Itziar Diez-Canedo, Co-CEO and Founder of Via.work"
