Jennifer Irvine RGI RSW

Jennifer Irvine studied painting at Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 1978. She exhibits successfully throughout the U.K. and works full-time from her Glasgow studio.

Her subject matter includes townscape, seascape and still life. Her large still life paintings are very involved with pattern and shape and she has becme increasingly interested in the use of dramatic light and shade, as is evident of her oil paintings of French villages and Italian townscapes. She draws on the effects of sunlight on an object, be it on a building or on water. The sunlight theme continues in her emerging paintings of shadows in snow. Nearer to home, she spends a lot of time in Argyll where she paints the sea and the ever changing reflections of light on water. She works from her studio in Glasgow and also spends as much time as possible painting in Argyll. In the last few years she has also spent a lot of time in France, Spain and Italy where she has found much of her subject matter.
