“As a kid, I loved coloring books and paint-by-number sets, but just couldn’t help “improving” on them by working ”Outside the Lines.” Dwyer lets her paint and brushstrokes overtake the existing confining outlines.

February Featured Artist: Jen Hill

Opening Reception Thursday, February 5th 5pm-7pm

Artist Statement

The art that I make is an expression of the thousands of things that are spinning around in my head at any given moment.  I sometimes find it difficult to take these scattered and intense thoughts and pictures and turn them into something cohesive that I can express to others.  Making art has given me a way to graphically express and focus those thoughts.  It also allows me to share the beautiful things I see that are scattered within the massive jumble of seemingly unrelated chaos.

 

I am very drawn to bright colors, things that sparkle, and objects that stand out from the societal norms.  I strive to bring color and sparkle to others through jewelry, wearable art, mixed media artwork, and decorative installations at events and festivals.
