Hello! I am Jennifer
Jennifer Brick, Contemporary Abstract Artist
Based in Hamilton, Ontario
How do you see the world around you? When you look across the horizon, do you feel a desire to paint the skyline with splashes of pink? Do you get a sense of joy when you spot a inspiring pattern in ordinary places? When the rules are broken on what is considered to be traditional colour combinations - do you feel a thrill?
I walk through the world with my eyes wide open with a sense of wonder and excitement. Strolling down neighbourhoods admiring the little details, combinations of wood and stone, bright colours in untraditional ways - I soak it all in and let the magic of inspiration flow through me.
I approach my art practice with the same manner. Exploring with patterns, mixing colours, splashing and smudging, letting the rhythm of the music move my brush across the paper. My art is a reflection of how I see the world - messy, vibrant and full of energy.
THE BRICKHOUSE ART
Watercolour House Illustrations
Most of my pieces are gifts for newly weds, new homeowners, or empty nesters looking to move out of the family home. A house is where memories are made. Happy or sad, it’s a place we all call home. Even though its been ages since I lived at home, there is something comforting about walking through the front doors of my childhood home. I get a glimpse of that feeling in my clients eyes when they see the final piece.
A house portrait is a sentimental gift that will be cherished for years and years. There is something magical about bringing a portrait to life.
