About

Jennifer Barnes

Born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Lives & works in Clifton Springs, Victoria

 

My aim every day is to spend some part of that day creating. I am quite driven to create and for me, it must bring some beauty into the world. I fell back into my artistic self later in life than I would have liked and it brings me a great sense of happiness and peace.  As an Artist I work across several different mediums. I paint in both Oil and Acrylic, draw with graphite and create relief prints.  Recently I found this quote and for me it sums up perfectly why I create and why I cannot stop.

 

"Just do your work. And if the world needs your work it will come and get you. And if it doesn't, do your work anyway. You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I'm given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one's own vision." — Kiki Smith  

 

I hope you enjoy my artwork.
