Artist Reception October 21

Jennifer Rasmusson studied art with George William Allen before attending Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Connecticut and Dundas Valley School of Art in Ontario, Canada.

Rasmusson works in series based on subjects that capture her interest. She often starts by depicting her subject matter with representational accuracy floating on imagined backgrounds. As she moves deeper into her explorations her focus moves toward an abstracted essence described by line, mass and form. Her colors stop describing what she’s viewing, becoming an academic exercise of restraint and balance.

In her latest series “Petals Interpreted”, Jennifer moves deeper into the large floral motifs explored over the past few years, focusing on petals as shapes, interpreting what’s before her with the freedom of abstraction.
