Jennifer Ross
Musical Prodigies, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Three songbird eggs lay nestled in a meticulously woven nest of twigs, delicately adorned with fragments of sheet music. A precursor to the melodies that the young birds will soon chirp. This composition weaves a poetic tale of destiny, blending magic realism into the scene.


About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross finds inspiration in gathering and replicating fragments of nature. "Birds, nests, eggs, and horses represent my realization that life embodies a tension between wanting security and the love of freedom," says Jennifer. Through her art, she aspires to convey a healing power inspired by the living world. Jennifer initially aspired to follow her mother and grandfather's artistic path but took a detour and began a decade-long career working in art galleries, selling the artwork of others, and doing framing design. Eventually, her creative soul persisted. She began experimenting with small pastel pieces and later found her unique style in incorporating elements, such as broken eggshells, inspired by the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold called Kintsugi. Jennifer transforms her second-largest bedroom into a studio, immersing herself in the sounds of birds or her son's college radio program while working.

  • Death Head, Original Painting
    By Drew McSherry
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Drew McSherry pictures an enigmatic profile of a face. It appears to be a creature with its mouth agape. His process begins with loose sketching and blotting to achieve a smudged effect. Drew layers pastel over the work to enrich the darker colors.


    About the Artist
    Drew McSherry finds inspiration in the paranormal and the darker parts of life. His images contain a sense of the macabre and oftentimes feel fantastical. He currently lives in California and has been influenced by artists like Eug;ne Carri;re and Odilon Redon. Fun fact: when he;s not painting, he is working on a series of children;s books.
