Jennifer Mathews - About the Artist

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. I'm drawn to the sense of motion and life."

Jennifer Mathews earned her B.F.A. from UCLA, and spent the next several years pursuing a career in graphic design. In 2011 she earned a certificate in Art4Healing® from Chapman/Brandman University and founded HEART HEALS. Jennifer exhibits her oil paintings in San Juan Capistrano at Mission Fine Art Gallery, and is inspired to paint the stories of people she sees around her. 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.
