Artist: Jennifer Black | Location: Charleston, SC
Charleston, SC
Established South Carolina artist, Jennifer Black, is inspired by the unique Lowcountry subjects that surround her. Drawing since age 8, Jennifer was already receiving art commissions while in high school. Free-lance art also helped pay her way through college with a degree in Art from Florida State University. She has studied extensively with distinguished international and national artists. In 2008, Paint America selected Jennifer’s painting, Rosey Spoonbill as a finalist in the Paint the Parks national competition. Among other awards, Jennifer received top honors at the Piccolo Spoleto art expo with the prestigious Mayor’s Award. “All subjects are fair game as long as they have beautiful light and drama. I am not a perfectionist nor a slave to detail.” says Jennifer. She calls her style “impressionistic realism.” Oil paint is mostly applied “alla prima,” or wet into wet. Her paintings come to life in her studio on the Ashley River marsh in Charleston, SC.
