Jeni Bate is truly a marvel. Her artistic versatility is evident in her weaving together of various mediums, though she is particularly drawn to acrylic, watercolor, and the written word. Her ability to balance artistic professionalism with a deep personal connection to her craft is nothing short of inspiring. As a traveling fine-art show attendee, she not only shares her work widely but also continuously refines the unique vision that sets her apart.
While I admire all her creations, I am especially captivated by her re-fractured works. These large-scale watercolors begin as stunning standalone pieces, which she then completely deconstructs—cutting them into fragments. She repositions these fragments onto a new backing material, painting over them again to create an entirely fresh, multidimensional perspective on the world. The results are breathtaking, offering a dynamic interplay of color, texture, and imagination that never fails to amaze.
Interwoven into many of her paintings is her poetry, adding an additional layer of depth and meaning to her creations. Every fragment of her work holds a story; every inch has the potential to reveal a hidden gem of joy to those who take the time to explore it.
Beyond her artistic talents, Jeni is a truly lovely person. She is an excellent instructor, sharing her knowledge and passion with others in a way that inspires creativity and confidence. We are incredibly fortunate to have her as a member and as part of our community!
