Jenny
works from her studio 'Cloudstone', 40 minutes north of Hobart.
Her
work is made in response to the textures of the places we inhabit,
focusing on the process of making using surface and line. The
history of the paintings is evident in the build up of marks and
layers. They track the passage of time, and the process of coming
into their own being, creating a connection between the artist and the
viewer.
Jenny holds a BA (Hons) from the Australian National University and an
MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management. In 2002 she left
a corporate role in Sydney to pursue a full-time career as an artist in
Tasmania. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Hobart School of
Art in 2006, majoring in painting and print making.
Jenny exhibits regularly in Hobart and Sydney and her work is
included in various group shows. She is a finalist in the 2011
Glover Prize, and was also selected in 2009 and 2007. Jenny was a feature artist in
the Tasmanian 2007 Living Artists' Week and her work received a Highly
Commended award in the Tasart Exhibition Burnie 2008.
Jenny is represented by the Colville Gallery
in Hobart and Richard Martin Art in Sydney.
