About
Hi, I’m Jenn.
I’m an artist and designer based in Berkshire, originally from South Africa, and creativity has always been part of my life. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for over 18 years, alongside a long-standing painting practice that has grown into something much more personal and meaningful over time.
I work mainly in oils, gouache, and printmaking, creating figurative and symbolic pieces inspired by nature, memory, and change.
My works often feature flowers, plants, animals, smoke, and water. I’m drawn to the way natural forms can hold emotion and meaning without needing to explain everything directly. I like building compositions that feel quiet, reflective, and open enough for the viewer to bring their own thoughts and experiences into them. Storytelling and symbolism sit at the heart of what I do.
Many of my paintings begin with a feeling, memory, or moment of transition. I’m interested in what remains after change — what we carry forward, what we let go of, and how those experiences shape us. My work often explores this space through contrast: softness and structure, light and shadow, stillness and movement.
Over the years, painting has become a way of slowing down and making sense of experience. Rather than creating work that gives answers, I’m more interested in making space for reflection and quiet recognition.
I hope something here resonates with you. Whether you’re simply browsing, looking for a piece for your home, or would like to ask about a particular work, I’d love to hear from you.

I've recently made the decision to focus more on publishing updates and information to my website and less to social media. I'd love it if you joined my mailing list to learn about new work and studio updates as they go live.
