Artist of the Year - Jenny Jardine

"I like to blend the technical skills I learned while acquiring my Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts with my desire to try new styles in my free time. Most of my paintings begin as a series of photographs I take from a single location like a street corner or side of a bike trail. I then collage them together to create a unique scene with a play on perspective. They have been described as realistic and can be considered a painted version of a photo collage. I love to take reality and decide how I want to alter it. I can add, delete or obscure what I see to make it something new and different. At the end, I have made something that is unique and completely my own. "

Jenny Jardine teaches visual art to middle school and high school students in the Phoenix area.
