Jantien Powell

Jantien paints in a range of medium including pastels, acrylics, inks and oils and she enjoys adding collage and texture to create depth and layers. She relishes the challenge of experimenting with new materials and she adores colour!
Colour and pattern are prominent themes within Jantien’s work, She loves to pick out the most unexpected colours in a scene and to experiment with the way that they can alter the dynamic of an image. She is drawn to patterns whether it is the jigsaw of shapes in an old stone wall or the repeating pattern of the sheep in the pens at the market. Maybe that says something of the way that life fits together and repeats itself, the seasons that come and go, generation after generation.
Jantien aims to capture feeling, atmosphere and character in her paintings, the relationships, the familiarity, and the unexpected aspects that you just might not have noticed.
