About the Item

Jennifer MOSES (b. 1969, United States) Above the Clouds Original oil on canvas 13 x 15” Hand signed Jennifer Moses explored many art mediums including fine art photography, ceramics and various aspects of design before settling into painting as her focused medium. Moses attended Virginia Commonwealth University receiving a B.F.A in Art Education. After receiving her teaching certificate in 1991, she moved to New York City where she resisted settling into the classroom and embarked on an exploration of art. In a little studio just north of Canal Street she focused on a series of large abstracted landscapes and figures. With her landscapes, she worked in a subtractive method by painting the canvas with color fields and then adding layers of white paint and glazes to the surface. As a result, she was left with negative shapes resembling spring colors budding through the snow. Layers of paint applied with a palette knife gave the painting a rich, thick quality yet the forms were kept simple and expressive. At this time, Soho was dotted with art galleries and Jennifer had the opportunity to be involved in the city’s thriving art scene. She exhibited in a few galleries and became friends with a many contemporary artists living in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. In 1994, Moses relocated to Ojai, California. The transition facilitated a shift into other creative outlets and venues. While renovating a historical 1909 Greene and Greene bungalow, she took courses in photography and worked in a ceramics studio nearby. In 1998, Jennifer started making large garden pottery inlaid with tiles inspired by a manufacturer of concrete forms during the early 1900’s. Being immersed in an environment rooted in the arts and antiques of this period, she became more intimately acquainted with the paintings of the Early California Impressionists. This new appreciation for impressionism sparked her desire to pick up the brush once again. While the French and Early California Impressionists have continued to be a rich source of inspiration and learning, her recent focus has been on direct observation through plein air painting and translating those studies into larger studio paintings. Inspired by the charm of Ojai, the majestic California coastline and western landscape, Moses feels she had found a subject that resonates with the most basic aspects of truth and beauty. Moses is a signature member of the California Art Club and American Tonalist Society. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Carnegie Art Museum, Pasadena Museum of California Art, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, Autry Museum, USC Fisher Museum, Santa Paula Art Museum, USC Pacific Asia Museum, Pepperdine University/ Fredrick R. Weisman Museum and the Salmagundi Club in New York City where her painting “Resplendence: Shades of Grey” won the Curator Award and the Patron Award at the 2019 American Tonalist’s Exhibition “Shades of Grey”. “It is the essence of a place that is at the core of my work and I am often drawn to the more intimate aspects of a landscape, a moment in time or a specific feeling that unfolds.My paintings are an expression of my experiences and I find myself on a never-ending journey of inquiry and observation. As the observer, I witness the details of what is before me and as the artist, I translate what I see and feel onto the canvases I paint. The process for me is a celebration of beauty and the interrelatedness of all things. My greatest desire is to communicate a meaningful, emotional connection through the visual poetry of painting.” -Jennifer Moses.
