I have temporarily shut down my website (jennifer-rivera.com) and I'm now using the following URL: www.wix.com/artistjennifer/rivera I know this has been confusing for some of you who are trying to locate me through the old site and I apologize for the inconvenience. I had my site parked with a host that wasn't very reputable and I am in the process of figuring out where I want to go with the site from here. I may or may not reopen the site with the old URL but I will likely start from scratch with a new URL. Either way, I will keep this site updated and you can reach me with any of the following contact information:
