Jenny Smith is a recent grad­u­ate of the Cam­bridge School of Art. I love the mys­tery and emo­tion present in her work.

The way Jenny moves her brush/mark-making tools across a page in such a way that con­jures mixed emo­tions — con­fu­sion, a sense of doom, and on the other end, ela­tion. At times I fear for her sub­jects, while other times they have a sense of quiet joy to them. There is an over­whelm­ing feel­ing of the mon­u­men­tal in her work as well — parts of her draw­ings are so small and look like they could be engulfed by the forces around them.
