Artwork Description

A serene, compact artwork captures a sliver of afternoon light, casting warm, honeyed tones across the scene. Open forests give way to rolling hills, their contours softened by the late-day sun as it descends toward the horizon, inviting the viewer to pause and share in the quiet transition from day to dusk.

Artist Bio

Jen Prior is based at her garden studio at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, in Melbourne’s outer east.
Mainly working with oils, but enjoys exploring the process with different mediums /techniques of watercolours, drawing and photography.

After exhibiting in group shows through regional Victoria and graduating Bachelor Fine Arts, 1998.

Creating became private and a therapeutic outlet. Jen had some further illustrative opportunities in the conservation field, she studied and worked in and also a couple of small public mural works. In 2018 she won 1st prize in Art 4 All, at Fairfield Primary School Art Fair, a Bluethumb Art Prize finalist in 2022 and has exhibited across Melbourne in group shows .

Jens expressive and atmospheric inspired landscapes and skies are created out of a sense of reverence, an emotive response to the natural world. It is more about the feeling of a place, enjoying the challenge of painting subdued light and subtle tones in the half light, creating soft transitions between forms, sometimes visible other times obscure.
