Jhenna Quinn Lewis

Jhenna Quinn Lewis is widely recognized for her masterful paintings. They are generally simple intimate compositions that invite the viewer to closely examine the detail of a bird, for example, that has landed in an unexpected setting such as on a book shelf, antique box, stack of books or various collectibles. Her exqusite interior stillife paintings offer a meditative quality. ’Through the manipulation of composition, subject matter, color, light, and shading, I try to bring out a subtle inherent quietness that the viewer can be drawn into. My hope is to create a state of mind. I have always tried to unite two separate worlds, the real and the imagined."

Photography is a recent gift in my life. Its late arrival in no way hampered my becoming completely smitten!

I enjoy using my lens to capture what the naked eye misses. I especially love observing birds: the mystery of their movement, the delight of unexpected details, their patience,and the complexity of their behaviors. Bird song is an added side benefit!

While in nature with my camera, there is a feeling of Harmony, Gratitude and Awe that I aspire to convey to others.

My intention is to share Beauty, to lift those who happen across my work and to inspire all of us to take a closer and more peaceful look at what is so marvelously always Present. 

Claire Duncan

Claire Duncan came to painting after a 30-year career in graphic design. She combines a professional designer’s understanding of the visual vocabulary with an artist’s passion for the painting process.

“I have always loved birds. I love seeing them and feeling their presence, their power and their grace. For these paintings, birds are the carriers of ideas that icker about in my mind like birds in the periphery of vision. The work is informed by a love of the natural world coupled with the more formal concerns of design and color. It attempts to evoke the solitary experience of beauty.”

Claire lives in Ashland, Oregon where she continues to use art as a way of learning about and loving this amazing world.
