"Sagebrush Solo" Painting

"My art should be as malleable as the world we live in.
It should not be stagnant.
It should possess life and inspire the looker to give and take life from it." -J.Charboneau

Jennifer Charboneau is an American contemporary painter based in Reno, Nevada. After completing her BFA in 2008 she then traveled abroad living and working as a nomadic painter and muralist for over 5 years. Her work is held in private collections across Europe, Australia, South Korea and Mexico. She has been involved in exhibitions in over a dozen cities across the globe and has curated numerous public art events under her ongoing community project, Alley Art. She currently creates and operates out of her home studio and continues to travel for live painting performances and national + international art fairs and exhibitions.

Creating with a minimalist palette and approach, J. Charboneau's landscapes and figures become refined gestural abstractions of form and movement with ink, charcoal, and bold splashes of color. Her artwork is often influenced by the poetry and prose she writes while traveling to new places and exploring in Nature’s most secluded regions. These “visual philosophies” invite the viewer to discover their own context within the works while meditating on the intricate layers of time and space she encapsulates.
