Jennifer Hagel

"My paintings explore characteristics of water and light. They are based on experience and are tied to memory, emotion, and the local landscape.
The process of making my representational work is like a meditative practice and provides direct inspiration for my abstract work. The lighting, the colours, and the patterns (the moments of magic) from the landscapes are often reflected and repeated in these intuitive abstractions. Through these paintings, I seek to recreate an experience, rather than replicate the mere visual aspects of one."
