Jen Day

Known for her realistic depictions of familiar yet still “anywhere” scenes and subject matter, Jen’s work has captured the attention of many art curators and collectors. Her style of acrylic painting has been described as “at a glance photo-realism meets bold and simplistic impressionism”. 

"Born and raised in the Midwest, I have always felt a need to be creative.  One of my first jobs was as a floral designer and this is where I developed my passion of composition, color and the vision to create something from nothing with an idea and a little inspiration. Now, I use a camera to help me capture special moments and I am always composing that blank canvas in my head. Since my first painting, The Garden, an abstract painting of a garden of flowers, I have since experimented with different styles and subjects, trying to capture the feelings and memories of my travels and inspiring moments, most notably, my time spent in Door County. I am transported while I am painting, as if time does not exist. I have so much to share with the world through them.I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed their coming to being."
