Jennifer Ross
The Clothes Horse #3, Original Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Inspired by antique equestrian portraits, artist Jennifer Ross depicts a chestnut horse wearing a plaid blanket in a stall. The steed grazes in a barn strewn with hay on the floor. Jennifer's unique eggshell and paper collaging technique creates a dynamic textural element. The presentation of the painting, with the background painted to the edge, lends the composition a contemporary feel to the classic art form.


About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross creates intimate portraits of birds, nests and horses. Jennifer grew up surrounded by the art of her mother and grandfather. Her attempt to follow in their footsteps presented detours, however, and she ended up working in art galleries selling other's work. But her desire to paint continued to grow throughout the years. In 2008, a gift certificate to a local art store turned into a life-changing event. Jennifer found inspiration in a collection of antique prints of birds' nests and began to paint her first avian series. These paintings serve as symbolic family portraits of what we all hold dear - our home and loved ones. Today, Jennifer draws on Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold. Using broken eggshells, she intricately collages the individual personalities and character of her animal subjects.

  • Envy, Original Painting
    By Sharon Sieben
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Sharon Sieben paints a woman in the foreground, keenly observing the other pair in the background. Minimal representation and primitive paintwork constitute the conversational display. With her hand on her hip, the main subject implies an air of conflict. "She is not included in the conversation," says Sharon. The piece makes the viewer question the engaging narrative between the characters.


    About the Artist
    Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar...
