Hello Love! My name is Jennifer Laurel Keller. I'm an acrylic and mixed media artist and instructor, but what I really do is help people gain creative confidence.
I’m drawn to organic, natural scenes that evoke mystery and intrigue. Then, I like to introduce vintage collaged papers and found objects to insert a subtle human element. This juxtaposition encourages people to make connections within the work, similar to uncovering an archeology site. I love to see viewers investigate the pieces and find the textures and imagery peeking through the layers.
I also enjoy plein air painting. This practice allows me to slow down and spend time in nature. Plein air pushes me to sharpen my skills as a painter and connect with the land. I may change things around and bring out different colors, but it's my painting and I have the creative freedom to do what I want. That freedom can be intimidating at times, but it’s also incredibly fun.
