Sobre el Artista

Jennifer Smithwell's work is largely plein air and is colorist impressionism. It has also been referred to as post-empressioniist and expressionist. I work with oil and acrylics on canvas. My work is landscape, often with people or a community presence apparent. I wish to create scenes that are sincere in their expression of the contemporary experience. My work is often very bright or contains vibrant elements. I find that this draws people into the work and to considering everyday scenes in a new light, in a way that is more successful than using a photo-realistic style. My clients find the works to be emotionally uplifting and energizing to their spaces.. I was admitted directly to second year of Ontario College of Art and Design and have studied through courses there and Toronto School of Art, Halliburton School of Art, Avenue Road School of Art and through many other opportunities. Jennifer Smithwell has won dozens of juried awards in Canada, and international shows. Her work is available at Framing Dames Gallery in Scarborough and various seasonal show and is also available from the website or by private appointments for viewings.
