| Jenny left Australia in 1991 for the
south of France to study painting. She spent twelve
years there and in California and England studying
and researching art. Her inspiration has largely been
the masters of abstract, like Mark Rothko and Jackson
Pollock. She fell in love with the big, bold landscapes
of East Anglia in England, California and now Western
Australia and has found a way to combine a sense of
those dramatic vistas in abstract form. |

Jenny has always followed a creative career,
from fashion stylist to food photographer, chef and restaurateur.
She started painting in the south of France, inspired, like
many artists, by the magical light and romantic mood, but
it wasn't until a long stay in California that the idea
of abstract painting became a passion.

Jenny believes abstract painting allows
the viewer to look directly into the soul of the artist.
So, although her work is inspired by the landscape and
the infinite layers, textures and colours of the environment,
the paintings themselves are purely abstract. |
Jenny returned to live and work in the hills near Perth,
on the west coast of Australia, in 2003. Until recently, most of Jenny's
work was sold privately or through galleries in the UK, Europe, the USA
and Australia in mixed exhibitions. Although offered many solo shows in
both the US and Europe, she chose to have her first in 2006 in Perth.
It was a huge success. Jenny's second solo exhibition, in 2008, was opened by Robert Juniper,
one of Australia's most revered artists. It, too, was highly acclaimed.
