Artist Statement
"What I attempt to portray in my paintings is evidence of human interaction--with each other and with the landscape. These relationships are most descriptive in everyday activities. Gesture and environment provide clues to the subjects' personalities. Large shapes of broken color are built up with minimal detail, vibrant color and playful brushstrokes. A sense of motion and life is more important than exact likenesses."
Jennifer Mathews earned her B.F.A. from UCLA, and spent the next several years pursuing a career in graphic design. More recently, she is focusing on figure in the landscape work in oil. Her work has appeared in several juried art shows, and is found in private collections across the country. She lives and works from her home in Newport Beach, California with her husband and three sons.
