Variegated IV - green abstract painting tropical bamboo leaves

This calming green abstract painting is inspired by microscopic leaf patterns. I love the way that this particular piece is also reminiscent of bamboo, highlighting the fact that the same designs in nature can by found at many levels not just the microscopic. As a large scale painting this work becomes a decorative and delicate lace-like abstract.

Variegated Collection:
Jennifer’s intricate paintings, paper cuttings and paper weavings capture the delicate aesthetic of nature in this series of works, variegated. Through the meditative process of making these often fluid pieces she creates varied and elaborate compositions that celebrate the simple beauty of leaves. Her work explores the complex patterns found at the microscopic level through to the venation system and tiny details often overlooked.
Beauty exists all around us, in the imperfect and in things we see every day but pay little attention to.
