Lamorinda Arts Council presents portraits, figurative and surreal paintings of featured artist Jennifer Granat at her solo virtual exhibit in the Art Gallery at Wilder during July. Go to www.lamorindaarts.org/online-galleries/ to access and purchase her artwork with one click.

While most of Jennifer’s work is a visual record of times she enjoyed hiking, walking and exploring the Bay Area with her husband and two dogs, her overall body of work also marks the many hours she spent in classes, online or in a studio session with live models. Figurative work is a major feature of Jennifer’s portfolio. It is representative of her love for the work of so many artists from ancient cave artists to Baroque masters to the Bay Area Figurative Movement and beyond. However, she also enjoys creating surreal or composite landscapes and abstract trees, playing with a variety of styles, media, substrates, and color palettes.

Now, as she looks back on older sketches, drawings and paintings, she realize that they represent a visual record of so much of her life. The seasons, along with recent deaths of loved ones, serve as personal reminders that life is indisputably, unscrupulously, and unapologetically in a state of constant change. Jennifer states, “This is my work. It is unapologetically varied, experimental, and in flux.” Learn more about Jennifer Granat’s work at www.jennifergranat.com.
