Jennifer Seeley is a young and talented artist from Utah. She received her BFA in drawing and painting at Utah State University. Jenn spends her days painting, playing volleyball, and spending time with her toddler and husband. Jenn’s work is a myriad of acrylic on canvas animal portraits.  She says, “I have a deep appreciation for living things and my paintings are a celebration of this. Texture and bright color schemes give my work a lively feel." Jenn have recently started using palette knifes to apply paint because she enjoys the balance of spontaneity and control it brings to her work.

In her newest work, she engages herself with additive and subtractive processes. "I apply paint, then scrape it away revealing the unseen layers. I’m using subtle tones to build up to the pops of color. A large part of my process is connecting myself with nature. I take time every day to get outdoors and quietly observe our earth. I have spent a lot of time in the Utah wilderness and it influences my paintings."
