Artist Statement for Jennifer Annesley

JENNIFER ANNESLEY, B.F.A., F.C.A., C.S.P.W.C.
Artist’s Statement
“Dramatic and unusual light captures my imagination, and can change an unremarkable scene into something extraordinary. The effect of light and shadow is crucial to creating drama, colour, texture, shape, and a sense of time. I strive to share the powerful effects of light with the viewer, and transport them into a specific place and time. It may take hours or even days for the sun to turn a landscape or architectural setting into something remarkable, and often it doesn’t happen at all. It is these rare moments of light I wish to capture.
Contrast is another major focus of my work. Light is only present with dark, cool with warm, masculine with feminine. The contrast of textures and colours creates vibrancy and interest.
Seeking out inspiring landscape and architecture through travel is a large part of my creative process. I make a conscious effort to see new places, without overlooking the every day things in my immediate environment.
A background in fine arts provided me with a foundation in drawing, draftsmanship, and painting theory. While studying, I also developed a love of art history and ancient architecture, as well as a great admiration for the old Masters. With my aesthetic rooted in the art and architecture of past centuries, I endeavored to develop my own technique in water colour through experimentation, pushing the medium to its limits.”
