Jenny’s work is based on her love of colour, influenced by her many travels to India, Cuba, the Pacific, Cyprus, and Europe. One of the youngest members to be elected to both the RWS and the NEAC at the time, she has exhibited and painted now constantly for many years. In the early years, she painted solely from direct observation in situ, but as time has passed, she tends to work more and more in the studio from the drawings and paintings she does while traveling. These paintings are a summation of their sense of place and reactions to her travels and environment. In them, she tries to capture the essence, smell, and taste of the place by combining elements that stay with her long after her trips have ended. They are a consolidation of her memory and her experiences.
