Canada artist Jennifer Smithwell is the subject of a show of plein air work at Ben Navaee Gallery in Toronto, January 9-15.
“My work is landscape, often with people or a community presence apparent,” she says. “I wish to create scenes that are sincere in their expression of the contemporary experience. My work is often very bright or contains vibrant elements. I find that this draws people into the work and to considering everyday scenes in a new light, in a way that is more successful than using a photorealistic style. I am often told by clients that the works are emotionally uplifting and energizing to their spaces.”
