#016 - Jennifer Price

In this episode of Bonsaigers Conversations, we sit down with Jennifer Price, a traveling bonsai artist with a truly unique path. Originally from Chicago, Jennifer has studied under some of the most respected bonsai masters in the world, including Ryan Neil, Walter Pall, and currently Michael Hagedorn.Before dedicating her life to bonsai, Jennifer was a professional dancer, a journey that demanded discipline, resilience, and years of refinement. In many ways, that same spirit lives on in her bonsai practice: shaping, patience, repetition, and the quiet pursuit of balance. From the stage to the studio, her story is one of transformation and dedication.We talk about her experience as one of the few women in the bonsai world, her travels across international conventions, and how learning from different masters has shaped her artistic voice. This conversation explores what it means to commit to a craft, evolve through challenges, and find your place in a deeply traditional art form.
