Jenny is a Cheshire based artist and has been painting professionally since completing a foundation diploma in Art and Design in 2002. Previously she ran her own interior design company for 9 years.
Much of her work is landscape based, inspired by her travels in the UK and abroad. She is interested in rural and urban landscape, particularly the influence of manmade structures and buildings on the natural landscape. Jenny tries to incorporate interesting textures into her work by the overlaying of paint and collage and also the rubbing and scraping away of paint to reveal layers beneath. She aims to capture the essence of a place - an emotional response rather than an accurate representation.
"Thus my paintings which begin from a photograph, sketch or a memory, often take on a life of their own led by the medium and the method of applying the paint".
Her works are a process of experimentation, a balance between control and letting go and taking risks. Too much control, in her opinion, leads to a flat and dull outcome, too little control to disharmony and chaos. With a spontaneous style it is impossible to predict the outcome or replicate previous paintings. This gives the final work energy and harmony.
Influenced by painters such as John Piper, Scottish artist Barbara Rae, Welsh artist David Tress and the great artist Turner who said:
"A painting is principally an expressive arrangement of primary materials"…. Jenny says "This seems to sum up perfectly how I feel about my work".
