Kensington, MD
Jennifer Lynn Beaudet is an artist in the D.C. Metropolitan area.
MessageBased in Kensington, MD, just outside of Washington, DC, Jennifer Lynn Beaudet is an award-winning contemporary representational painter. Having originally studied psychology, leading to a career in health communications, Jennifer has spent a lifetime contemplating behavior and formulating effective ways to communicate with others. Since 2018, she has sought to do so with her artwork.
As a mother of two amazing humans, there is never a day that she isn’t in complete awe of the beauty of the human psyche and its relationship to the environment in which we live. Painting allows her to access this relationship at a deeper level.
Statement
The way we respond to our visual environment tells us a lot about what gives us comfort and what gives us pause. I find that the practice of making art allows me to become even more sensitive to such unspoken aspects of my own unique self.
I am increasingly interested in portraying my subjects with a highly empathetic lens while exploring variations in compositional space through context, texture, and the quality of light.
I am drawn to the illusory effect of creating form and/or atmosphere without being too literal — leaving space for the viewer’s imagination. I hope the effect is to enliven one's senses and bring vitality and freshness to the work.
