about the artist

byJenny Phillips

San Francisco, CA

Drawn to quietness, subtlety and understatement, I strive to evoke the mood, luminosity and texture of space, light and organic form. My work is about feeling, rather than ideology or narrative. I primarily use paper, wax, watercolor, India ink and acrylic washes, borrowing techniques from printmaking (dry point, chine collé) and combining materials in new and unexpected ways. I seek to balance simplicity of expression with rich sensory qualities.
