I have a wide variety of interest but always come back to the Paintbrush. My paintings are mostly imaginary unless I am doing a commissioned work. I take a lot of photographs and look for scenes that are silently sitting there wanting someone to discover them. I might start my painting from something in a photograph or an idea but from there on the painting creates itself. You may, find a wild animal roaming about in my paintings. I really enjoy creating my own scenes from my imagination, allowing me to modify my painting as I desire as opposed to painting from a picture. This lateral shift has further sparked my creativity and I hope to create more imaginary scenes and expand my skill with animals. |

To further my originality in my artworks, I work with vibrant pigments using self-taught, heavily researched old Master techniques and formulas to create my very own style and color palette. The most evident substance of my work are the figures and their environments, therefore scale and composition are crucial in the thought process and primary sketch works. I feel that being able to relate to my work not just in the physicality but also in the mental and spiritual aspect, is a small step towards finding myself always throughout my work. In this way, I feel that my work is unique and personalized. I believe that my choices of colors, rendition of style, scale, composition and so forth are all carefully thought out to fit and suit the subject matter. My tendency to be spontaneous about changes in the process, adds to the uniqueness and results of the work. |

A huge appeal to his work lies in his impressionistic style and the variety of his subject matters. His inspirations are derived from his many expeditions (France, Hong Kong, Singapore') The core of this work is based on his love of his adopted city Montreal where he presently works and lives, with its European inspired architecture and also its vast artistic elements (Cirque du Soleil, Montreal Jazz Festival, and many Dance companies). It's a city with an infectious 'joie de vivre', with a tapestry of cultures all living together - enjoying life, food and wine ' 'colours of life'. In Jenn''s paintings the figures are essential; they interact telling stories through their body language, becoming symbols representing his life. The figures are painted without facial features creating the illusion of ambiguity and timelessness. His paintings are infused with an inner glow and luminosity that gives each piece a life of its own. He uses intense colours to elicit an emotional response and stir passion in those who view his work. |

My early years were spent living on a farm in the Laurentians, in Eastern Canada. Life on the farm was filled with so many beautiful subjects; wildlife, domestic animals, flowers, buildings that tell a story, a walk in the fields, or woodlands.
When I start a piece of artwork, I never know exactly where it will take me. What I have in mind always seems to change through the course of playing with the subject, especially watercolour because of its nature to come alive with bursts of beauty. What I see in my vision translates into what I see and how I see it, but my aim is to capture the subject as true to reality as possible, which is classic realism. |
