Jennifer Henry
I’m a self taught landscape artist with a style that explores the rich vibrant colours of nature. My artwork is for sale in my online store on my website. Grounded by my Irish roots and my natural creativity, I enjoy bringing all that is nature to the canvas. My works include mountains, lakes, oceans, trees and forests. I am also drawn to florals for their delicate and bold colours, bringing beauty to the walls of collectors both nationally and internationally. More recently I have been exploring abstract art and enjoying it immensely. For as long as I can remember I have loved arts & crafts and connecting with the natural world. Art was a way of expressing myself and creating beauty.
Expressing myself on the canvas gives me great enjoyment which I hope is extended to the viewer. All of nature is art and I strive to bring this to my craft. I see art and vibrant colours in all that surrounds me, I go to sleep visualizing the next brushstroke and the colours I will use. New ideas live in my imagination and I can’t wait to create them on a canvas with my own hands. My preferred media are acrylic and watercolour, acrylic being the optimum method of choice.
These days I get to pursue my passion every day, working in my own studio and gathering inspiration from all that surrounds me- the ocean, the mountains, the forests, lakes and rivers confirming my artistic vision and staying true to myself and my craft. Daily I get inspiration from the sunsets, sunrises and the breathtaking vistas on my own doorstep. I am truly blessed to be given the opportunity to bring joy and happiness translated by paint on canvas. I invite you to explore each canvas and its story.
Time to Reflect
Jennifer is a self taught landscape artist living in Nova Scotia with a view from her home of the shores of the Minas Basin in front and the Cobequid Mountains behind. Art is her passion with the ocean, mountains, lakes and forests for her inspiration. Jennifer grew up in Northern Ireland where her early formative years were spent exploring the Glens of the North Antrim coast and the shores of the Irish Sea.
Art Gallery in Carrs Brook Nova Scotia will open Summer of 2022.
Euphoria
After graduation as a Home Economics teacher she married and moved to Canada where she taught in high school and community college. Following a career change in the 70’s she and her husband ventured into the world of Tourism and successfully owned and operated a Tour and Travel company, two resort hotels and a thoroughbred horse breeding farm in the 1000 Islands Region of Ontario for over 40 years .
This however put Jennifer’s art on hold until retirement when she returned to her lifelong passion of art exploring her love of nature and the beauty of her idyllic country surroundings in rural Eastern Ontario and now more recently Nova Scotia. Her work is influenced by her photography and using the ever changing landscapes and seascapes on her doorstep for her inspiration. Her artwork is in private collections both nationally and internationally.
