*Jenny McConnell: Kingscliff local artist
“I love creating, it energies me. Over the years I have developed work in a range of media but predominately in mixed media and assemblage especially working with images or materials that hold a nostalgic significance.
Being time poor a lot of my early work focused on significant people in my life a a tribute to them and often as my means for dealing with their loss. I have always been fascinated by early Byzantine art and in particular iconic images of the Madonna. I have been surrounded by strong women and done my best to produce a few of my own, much of my early work has always has a focus on women for this reason.
Over time I have broadened the media I work with and moved into jewellery as I view this as affordable wearable art, mini sculptures if you like, that more people can access and enjoy.
More recently I have been developing my Art through the medium of paint, inspired by the beautiful landscape that we live in.
