Tender Human Tense Painting

Canadian-born Jennifer Mills moved to London aged 3 where she still resides and works. She has spent her life pursuing many creative passions. At 17 she pursued full time studies in dance, but returned to her first love of painting, securing a place at Central St. Martins School of Art where she trained under London Group Artist Mike Thorpe. Jennifer often uses film, music and particular images that resonate with her whilst she is painting. Her work is evocative and passionate and is constantly evolving. Painting humans using figurative expressionism and/or her style of portraiture. The paint/colour is sculpted on the surface. She is interested in the presence they evoke in an unspecified space. How they represent deep sensibilities and the human state. Her figures grow out of a dialogue with the paint. The illustrative turns into sensation using autobiographical influences.
