'… Jenny’s paintings give expression to the irrational but necessary challenge to speak in another language. Underpinned by a love of poetry, her paintings gently reveal cadence and form, texture and sound. On the at times brutal but beautiful landscape she walks on every day in Tasmania, one senses there is all the visual DNA needed for her work. But of course it’s not that she’s a landscape painter. It is more fundamentally that her work records all of those walks and all of the songs and poems that accompany her on the way...'
Andrew Jensen 2021.

I work from my studio 'Cloudstone', situated on a hill half an hour north of Hobart. My work is made in response to this landscape, its rhythms and textures.

Each canvas is worked in layers over many months, often years. The history of the paintings is evident in the build up of marks and pigment. They track the passage of time, and the process of coming into their own being, seeking to create a connection between myself and the viewer.

I hold a BA (Hons) from the Australian National University and an MBA from the Australian Graduate School of Management. In 2006 I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Hobart School of Art, majoring in painting and printmaking.

I am represented by Fox Jensen Gallery.
