Jen Chau

Jen Chau is a bold contemporary landscape painter with a focus on quirky colour combinations. Experimentation and process drive her work, which begins with observational studies and develops into abstracted representations of her worldview.

Born in the US, Jen boarded her first flight at six months old to return to her parent’s native Hong Kong. She was raised in the British education system, going on to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Commercial/Advertising Photography in California and her Master’s degree in Art Psychotherapy in London, UK.

Alongside her work as an Art Psychotherapist in London, she began taking evening art classes. As a quadragenarian-emerging artist, Jen has exhibited in Hong Kong and London and currently paints out of her studio/gallery, Atelier do Tijolo, in Lisbon, Portugal.
