Statement
The human expression is what intrigues me most.
Chance meetings, intimacy, loss of intimacy, and
even tragedies have played a large part shaping
me as a person and as an artist. I often focus
on the female expression mostly since I am
female. I regularly find myself relating to the
mood of other women. Life to me is very visual,
I can sit and watch people from a distance and
get a sense of who they are by their style, body
language and especially their eyes. In these
observations I am most influenced by romance and
personal strife. Both are beautiful and often
cross, and each is a corner to be turned, a
chance for growth and learning and often
extremely introspective.
I see myself as a semi-surrealist since I am
often realistic in depiction of subject matter,
yet there is often an underlying exaggerated
mood. My focus may be a candid shot that is more
dramatic than every day life or more extreme
emphasis on size, shape, color or pose. Although
I begin with a bright palette of color most of
the time, I often have a tendency to mute the
colors which places more emphasis on the
intensity of the moment rather than the color.
My Drawings in pencil and pastel tend to be
mostly soft and smooth whereas I tend to explore
more texture with watercolor, acrylic, and
occasionally oils.
I like to try a bit of everything as far as
composition, media and subject matter; however it
usually leads back to romance, vulnerability, and
fragility and is most often relayed through women.

Great Work
Just saw your post over on my site and thought
I'd take a look at your work. I really love your
sense of color and your compositions are very
compelling. I especially like the way you crop
your portraits and fill the entire frame. I also
apreciate the comments you made about my work.
Working with the figure is something I really
enjoy, but I haven't actually found a way to
work it in as a subject for my body of work.
Since I've been in Loisville, I haven't had a
chance to work from models either, but I have
been working on some new paintings and prints.
There not figurative, but they are usning
symbolic mechanisms that are sometimes stand-ins
for the figure. Seeing your work makes me want
to paint the figure though. Eventually I plan on
using my drawings to make paintings from. Oh
well, keep up the awesome work and I'll try to
check back later to see if you have anything new
up. Thanks again for posting on my web page.

Stunning Art
Jenny your work is so uplifting. Gives me
encouragement to pick up a paint brush. I have
enjoyed viewing all of your talent on your
amazing web site. I am so excited Julie got me
the beautiful print of the "idle". I will find a
very special place for it. Sincerely, Cathy

Ok so I checked out your work and all I have to say is WHOA!
Amazing (hanging up my paint brushes in discouragement) LOL.
Way better than I could dream of, I love everything! Do you use
live models or paint/draw from imagination? Keep up the great

I love it!
I love learning why artists paint what they do. It makes their work
come alive. And it has definantly done that with your work! You
work is amazing to start with. I love the color, and emotion and
can completly agree with you on your choice of painting females
