Jenny’s family have been farming in East Anglia since 16th Century. She has a long career as a freelance farm business administrator behind her and now with a family grown and a mid-life flourish, she devotes more of her time and energy to painting and drawing.
Throughout secondary school and during her late teens she was encouraged and inspired by two excellent teachers, Reg Carr and Gretchen Kiddy. In 2001-02 a fine art course at Kent Institute of Art and Design re-ignited Jenny’s talent, with emphasis on the importance of drawing, colour and observation.
Jenny is an active member of the Lavenham Art Society and organises the summer painting trips in and around Lavenham. She is also a member of the Bury St Edmunds Art Gallery and regularly attends their excellent life drawing classes.
