Internationally known, Jenni Souter says,”My art is a pleasing aesthetic experience. After a suicide of a loved one, I began to be able to see the world using the abstract color of rainbow. My art has a decadent metallic underpainting with a jolly rancher like final coat which is a pure colorful bold eye candy. I use Pebeo oil paints and invite you to look at www.jennisouterartist.com or Instagram js.artgallery. Enjoy! I worked very hard during COVID and made artworks covering many subjects including landscapes and flowers like O'Keeffe. Perhaps I most identify with Mary Cassatt subject matter of children because motherhood has been paramount for me and now I get to share the joys of motherhood with you.”Professional Summary
