Artist Comments
This striking mixed-media piece by artist Jennifer Ross blends texture, collage, and paint to capture an ethereal moment. A Palomino horse stands in profile, its form constructed from a layer of eggshells. Colorful butterflies fly around the equine. The artwork conveys the beautiful contrast of strength and fragility, and symbolizes freedom and transformation.
About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross finds inspiration in gathering and replicating fragments of nature. "Birds, nests, eggs, and horses represent my realization that life embodies a tension between wanting security and the love of freedom," says Jennifer. Through her art, she aspires to convey a healing power inspired by the living world. Jennifer initially aspired to follow her mother and grandfather's artistic path but took a detour and began a decade-long career working in art galleries, selling the artwork of others, and doing framing design. Eventually, her creative soul persisted. She began experimenting with small pastel pieces and later found her unique style in incorporating elements, such as broken eggshells, inspired by the Japanese art of mending pottery with gold called Kintsugi. Jennifer transforms her second-largest bedroom into a studio, immersing herself in the sounds of birds or her son's college radio program while working.
