Jenny Westbrook is willing to accept commissions


I work in mixed media, my work is intuitive and organic, the concept is generated through the practice growing from the initial marks.

I start by washing areas of colour and form in acrylic over the canvas to see where it takes me and where to go next, adding anything new alters the balance and determines what is to come. I’m interested in what one colour / shape does next to another. There are lots of layers and edits, I let the painting take its own direction. I sometimes rework paintings I did years ago, so a painting can take a long time to finish, I leave little areas of the original work to show the journey.

While I’m working, I’m processing thoughts, listening to music invoking memories that take me back in time, inspiring the painting, driving it on and giving it energy, one abstract thing feeding another, I stop work when the painting tells me it’s beautiful.
