JHENNA QUINN LEWIS

Dusky atmospheric backgrounds and the quiet definition of negative space enhance a contemplative quality in Jhenna’s work. The negative ‘space between’ becomes imperative. What is left out is just as valuable as the main subject. It helps create a sense of silence and define what there is to focus upon. Space as she uses it, allows the viewer to notice what Jhenna wishes to express and emphasize. Many of her subjects are birds. Each species has their own personalities and lore. Whatever they mean to Jhenna will be interpreted by the viewer’s own experiences. Yet, there is a universal attraction that draws us in to wonder about these beautiful creatures. 

My art is a metaphor for stillness and reflection. It is part of an inner dialogue with emotions that resound within. I exist alongside the work. There is no separation. My art invites the viewer to slow down, to be patient and look, to appreciate our connection to the natural world, and sense what resounds within themselves.
