Look Hue’s Talking

I’m Jenny, wild woman and un-domestic goddess creating art from my studio in Essex, England. My daily vista is the wide open space of the River Crouch, the winds are fresh and mighty but there is always light behind the clouds.

Whether they are wispy and gently floating or forboding and vertically soaring, the curl of the clouds outside my window never fail to inspire me. I love how clouds resemble our thoughts, both are perpetually changing.

I was born into an artistic family and although I loved to paint in my younger years, I ended up going into banking (the least colourful career ever). My creativity continued to weave its way back into my life through every hobby it could – from furniture restoration to making clothes, I was called to be creative from every angle. I didn’t answer the call, so the universe knocked a little louder…

I awoke a few years ago to find I had partially lost my memory. I cannot explain what happened to me, nobody can, not even the neurologists. It came on very suddenly and it was a very frightening time. It was so surreal but in losing my memory I found my creativity. I’d had an epiphany - it had all come flooding back to me. It was like unlocking all that was lost. Some of my memories were taken but my passion and soul purpose were reawakened. After all, you don’t need to remember to paint – just to feel. Painting became my place of positivity, a way back to me. And the rest is history.

I learned first hand that memories are magical and you don’t know that until they are gone. This is why above everything I’m a memory maker. Usually found with paint underneath my fingernails, a dog (or three) by my feet and a mug of painter’s tea in my hand (it’s essentially Red Bush tea with an accidental splash of colour).

Please get in touch because I would love to connect with you and paint your story.

“Wow, what can I say about Jenny’s work, just incredible! I thought the photo I had was special but Jenny captured so much more emotion and depth than I could ever have imagined. I will forever treasure this piece of art as to me this painting captures so much more than the moment itself.”
