Love's Flower

"I am haunted by imagery, from the moment I wake, until my mind drifts to sleep, my thoughts are ever-held captive by beauty." 

                                                                                                     -----Jennifer Peters

These intricate works of art are the result of countless hours spent by the artist in and out of studio, capturing, refining, selecting and combining visual imagery through the use of digital media. Once an idea has been birthed within Jennifer's mind, she will stop at nothing to achieve the desired effect, whether that be through mixing different chemicals, paints and organic matter in studio for initial documentation, to wilderness forays, performance art or large-scale installations, such as her infamous nest in the year 2020. She has also been known to frequent many pools of water, both domestic and wild, in order to photograph the sunlight filtering through sheer cloth she sunk with weights or her own body floating within its depths. Underwater photography remains a passionate interest for this prolific creative force. Once she has amassed enough material, the artist then sits back and combines the imagery using her fingertips on a touch screen. In her words, "An artist must use every tool he or she can; we cannot build on the shoulders of those who have come before us if we refuse to embrace what is new."
