About Me
Hi There!
I'm Jennifer love
I am an artist, an art instructor, a researcher, a Zumba® instructor, a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.
It is in my nature to live loudly, boldly, brightly and expressing passion. I need to find fun in the everyday. I now live and move through life in a way that is comfortable and natural to me, even if that might seem silly to someone else. As I allowed myself to begin living true to my nature, my artwork experienced a transition that brought it into harmony with my life approach.
My paintings are visual expressions of emotion and activity! I start each painting with an idea of the colors I want to use and the mood I want to convey and work forward from there. I want my paintings be rich and vibrant. I may use a recognizable symbol or subject matter in a painting, but I try to make each painting lively by using repetition, mingling colors, blotting, pouring, taping, splattering, stamping, scratching, or even cutting up the painting and weaving it together. It is exhilarating for me when my collectors notice and appreciate this intentional movement in my work. It is then that I feel the painting is a success.
I try to approach and complete each painting with boldness, being unafraid to make mistakes. Life is about mistakes! It’s about learning and growing as we go. I feel that art, like a person, should be always working towards improvement. For me, art is the expression of self rather than a reflection of the world. Each new painting I create is a small piece of the puzzle that is me.
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
Inspiration
I am inspired by the smells, sights, and sounds of the world around me. I love rich, saturated color. I love the way sunlight shines through the petals in my rose bushes and the little dancing rainbows that come through the crystal hanging in my kitchen window.
Techniques
I use wet-in-wet and drybrush techniques in my watercolor paintings. I use a variety of methods to create movement and texture, including cutting up my paintings and weaving them together. I love to explore new texture making tools, mixed media, and anything that looks like it will be fun.
career highlights
I am a Past President of the Utah Watercolor Society (UWS) 2017-2018. I have been a member of the UWS since 2003. In this time, I earned Signature status, which involved being accepted into a minimum of eight juried exhibitions and winning an award in at least one.
