Mostly abstract, my current work is derived from the world around us.

​I'm a big fan and observer of the natural world. Trees - their bark in particular - are my main starting point, and I make drawings from the trees near where I live. Then I abstract from those drawings in the paintings. The contrast of nature with the shapes and text of the manmade world, of urban architecture is also what interests me - organic line working next to geometry. And I love colour.

But I just adore trees, and want to celebrate them.

​

The paintings are made with mainly oil paint and cold wax with collage, graphite, dry pigment, pastel; some are in acrylics. 

​

Unless they are marked as sold, all the paintings are for sale. Please contact me via my email - jen@jenrowlandspainting.com - if you are interested in buying.
