The light of the sea is like magic. Generations of artists have been drawn to the coasts that show the play of sky and sea. British painter Jennifer Wright is fascinated by the play of light on the sea and has found her personal source of inspiration in Salcombe. Working in the south of the UK overlooking the English Channel, the painter lives out her passion for sailing. The change from light to color and the rapid changes in the sky captivate the artist. She describes the moments she experiences as a plethora of emotions ranging from pure happiness to the terror of threat. Jennifer Wright prefers to paint outdoors. Outdoors, she can intensely trace the elements. She enjoys the rapid changes of light and delights in the uniqueness of the moments. For the recreation and elaboration in the studio, the artist falls back on photographs that she makes while painting.
As far back as the artist can remember, painting and designing has played an important role in her life. At just eight years old, Jennifer received her first award for a drawing from the Royal Drawing Society. It was a consistent step for Jennifer Wright to choose an artistic education. In the 1960s she studied in London and left university with a degree in graphic design. In the early years of her professional life, Jennifer Wright worked as an illustrator and graphic designer. Painting continued to play an important, albeit subordinate, role during this phase. Jennifer showed her art at numerous exhibitions. In addition to sailing, the artist is a devotee of equestrian sports. A subject that the painter also deals with in her representations and receives great attention. Twenty years after her training, Jennifer Wright has taken the step to devote herself exclusively to painting as a professional artist.
Jennifer Wright describes her painting style as realistic impressionism. In recent years, the artist has become interested in abstract still lifes. She describes this phase as a journey that helped her find a new perspective for her art. The differences between the seascapes and horse motifs that define her work to the abstraction of objects are great. Taking a completely new approach has changed Jennifer's ideas about compositions and about color and given her fresh impetus. The painter likes to work with a reduced palette. She wants to allow the eye to concentrate on the subject and the composition. Jennifer feels that if she has a large selection of colors, she can focus exclusively on the color. She then just paints three colors on her palette and mixes the colors. It's a method that often discourages her, as she's always accompanied by the fear that she won't be able to mix a particular color a second time.
