Artist Bio: Catherine Jenks is an artist using paint as a tool and language to express, examine and understand the human experience. She has a B.A. in Art, with an emphasis in Painting, from University of California Santa Barbara’s College of Creative Studies. She currently lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA and is the Undergraduate Program Manager for UCSB’s Art Department.
Jenks uses her painting practice to explore her desire to create a tangible form for invisible thoughts and emotions. She utilizes color, rendering and composition to influence the viewer’s psychological responses and invite them to step into her perceptual reality. This reality is shaped by the intensity of her experiences as a woman and a mother. Her delicate, representational oil paintings dance along the fine line of displaying the beauty of reality and within the physicality of paint. These paintings provide opportunities for reflection and reminders that everything is worthy of a close look.
Directly following her Artist Talk, Catherine Jenks will discuss her exhibition in the Glass Box Gallery.
