“Stunning Work in Pen & Ink Over Watercolor “
By: Karen L McCarty
What a joy to feature Jennifer Lowry, a talented Guest Artist at the White Rabbit Fine Art Gallery in this Artist Spotlight. Jennifer, demonstrates her God given talent to recreate beautiful scenes in pen and ink over watercolor. Jennifer explains, “the pen and ink give content and the watercolor gives vibrancy to the work.”
Jennifer leads a busy life. She is a homeschooling mother of four. Her children keep her busy with varied interests of their own.
When Jennifer was a child she would doodle. Her Dad, who is a talented cabinet maker, encouraged her. He made an art frame for her large beach scene, which is Jennifer’s favorite work. While in High School she began to recreate photographs from children’s books. Along the way, she wanted to have detail in her work and she struggled with that but when she discovered pen and ink she realized it added detail and texture to her pieces.
The list of her interests and projects Jennifer enjoys is seemingly endless. Jennifer is a photographer. The majority of her paintings are inspired by photographs she has taken during her travels and yearly camping trips to Hunting Island State Park. She paints realistic back-drops for local productions, weddings and receptions and recently completed large wall scenes that created just the right setting to amaze children during VBS. Jennifer has also written, illustrated and self-published a children’s book for which she attends book signings. The book, “Can You Hear the Wind,” is available at Paris Mountain State Park and on her website. She is also in the process of of writing a digitally illustrated theological book for future publication and participates in a Christmas season Maker’s Market.
Jennifer’s purpose in art is to glorify God’s creation and the beauty seen in that work. She derives joy in that purpose and hopes her viewers experience the same joy. If she were to offer encouragement to another artist she would tell them “try new themes, don’t lose the joy.”
