New series Microcosm is well received

Microcosm, an exceptional new series composed of fifty 8X8 paintings, was presented at a by invitation showing in Jennifer's studio on November 7 - and virtually sold out by November 10. The series was presented in it's entirety, spanning ten feet across and five feet high, to capture and emphasize the range and diversity of this significant artistic effort. The effect was apparently so powerful that forty-four pieces were purchased in just a few days. See the series here.

Night Blossom,from the series, is presented below. Studio E gallery makes the following observation about Jennifer's work: "Jennifer J.L. Jones creates dynamic tension between the literal and the abstract through intuitive and energetic lines, curves and color......Nature is stripped to its spiritual core."

Signing with new gallery

Studio E Gallery of Jupiter, FL will start representing Jennifer's artwork beginning with a solo exhibition scheduled for July, 2004. Studio E Gallery represents a select group of Southeastern artists and sculptors with regional and national reputations, and focuses on original contemporary art in painting, sculpture and fine craft. From their Jupiter, FL location, Studio E Gallery attracts nationwide clientele including residents from Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties in South Florida. Since many of the gallery's clients have second homes in Florida, much of the work sold ends up in their homes and offices in the Northeast and Midwest.
