Jantien grew up on a small hill farm in
South Wales. She has always loved to
draw and paint and felt that living on
an isolated farm really helped her to
develop those skills while she was
young. She loves to paint life as she
sees it around her, the beautiful Welsh
countryside, the hill farms and their
inhabitants. She now lives and paints in
the beautiful countryside near
Abergavenny, South Wales.
She paints a wide range of subjects
including landscape, seascape,
animals, people and still life and
although she works predominantly in
acrylics, she also uses a range of
medium including oils, inks and collage.
Colour and pattern are prominent
themes within her work. She loves to
pick out the most unexpected colours
in a scene and to experiment with the
way that they can alter the dynamic of
an image.
