Jenni Stuart

Raised in the picturesque landscapes of West Cornwall, I have always been deeply influenced by nature’s beauty. After earning a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Bath Spa University, I spent several years teaching before fully committing to my artistic practice in 2021.

My work explores colour, texture, and movement, blending self-expression with echoes of the natural world. Inspired by my Cornish roots, the luminosity of the outdoors, and the sea, I create abstract compositions that evoke emotion and connection.

Working primarily with acrylics, I build layers of paint, often developing multiple pieces at once. Oil bar drawings add depth and spontaneity, weaving space and colour into a dynamic interplay. This process fosters a sense of energy and playfulness, encouraging engagement across generations.

My art is a visual diary—an invitation to step into my world and experience the joy, rhythm, and vibrancy that shape my creative journey.
