Jenni Mumford

Jenni Mumford is a re-invented post impressionist painter, mastering the truths or disciplines of, painterly manipulation; color; and edge.  She does not draw or overly design and fill the paint in, but rather paints from spirit, allowing the image to evolve. She is now known as one of Australias top still life painters, having an affiliation with this idiom as it best reflects her solitary and wish for peace.
However it is this artist’s rhythmic and inspirational feel for beauty, form and color that we can all participate in when we view her interpretation of the landscape and still life. This is executed in her work using a unique impasto technique.
"To me, being a painter of the landscape is about creating original impressions of the rapturous light forms that appear, especially during early morning or evening. A spirited involvement in colour and movement invokes a certain romanticism - the painting must have energy and feeling. I like to think that paintings are a passionate expression of being in touch with the fascination of the subject. The artist is the hand that plays the strings, touching this one and that one, to stimulate the soul and to appreciate the vibrations of beauty and colour around us."
