Jennifer Duteil

Our February artist, Jennifer, grew up in Miami, Florida, and has lived in Beverly Hills, NYC, Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, South Carolina, Hawaii, and for the past 16 years, Chatham, NJ where her daughter and grandchildren live.  Jennifer is a former actress, and believes that  "life is energy and ever-changing".   She began painting watercolors 30 years ago with encouragement and frequent reminders ("Are you painting?") from her mother-in-law, who was the only painting teacher Jennifer has ever had. Jennifer says "Light and shadow are my favorite subjects, and architecture and scenery offer me endless opportunities to explore them".  She works from both life and photographs.  You can tell from her paintings how much she enjoys her subject matter, and has fun creating these dynamic paintings!
