My BackgroundI am a visual artist living and working in Brisbane, Australia. I began my art studies in 1992 with a drawing and painting course at Boston Fine Arts Museum in Massachusetts, USA. On return to Australia, in 1994, I commenced a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Newcastle University. After moving to Brisbane in 1996, I continued my degree, majoring in painting, at Qld College of Art (Griffith University) where I graduated in 2000. My artwork explores the environment I come in contact with, whether that is my response to a landscape or simply to everyday interior objects. I like to break these scenes or settings down, to play and reassemble them using a diverse variety of materials. This allows me to draw from a more subconscious level of my imagination. I would like to hear from you about my work. Please send me your feedback. Jennifer McDowell |
