Jenna Harbert, sophmore at Texas A&M will be our featured artist for the month of May. Here is her artist statement:
My paint work is in acrylic, oil, collage, pastel, or marker. I love using my hands, creating a direct, cathartic experience.
Each work heavily reflects whatever music I am listening to. I’m inspired by the beauty and fundamentals of nature.
In my photographs, I focus primarily on motion, physics of nature, light, and color contrast. My vision is abstract, and impulsive, that invloves taking several hundred pictures each shoot.
My work is entirely intuitive stroke or thought, creating a visually aesthetic experience.
*If you’re interested in commissioning a painting or have other ideas
