Artist's Statement
|
|
I have been a professional fine artist for over 35 years! Scary, how time flies. I live in the beautiful mountains of central Idaho with my husband, Gary and pug dog, Jack.
The current direction of my art is painting the still life in oils. My still life paintings are about finding the beauty in everyday objects. I am especially drawn to vintage objects that have had a previous life.
The most interesting part of the painting process to me is the composition or design phase. The beauty of still life is that I am the conductor; moving objects around until I see an arrangement that is pleasing and dynamic to the eye. I look for relationships of shape, color, contrasts of light & dark and what is to be the center of interest. Because my paintings are strong in design and color they bring life and energy to a room.
Fellow artist E. Floyd said “I like the way Jennifer’s paintings seem to tell a story, as if we are getting a glimpse of someone’s daily life, with an action about to take place that will alter the vignette we have just been privileged to witness.”
I have completed many commissions for Alaska's 1% for Art in Public Places, corporations and private collectors. My work is represented in private and corporate collections worldwide.
