Jennifer Moses | Boston, MA
Jennifer Moses is an abstract painter living and working in Boston, Massachusetts. She has been exhibiting throughout the United States since 1986. She is currently represented by the Kingston Gallery in Boston. Her exhibitions have been reviewed in Art New England Magazine, The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald. Her paintings were included in the Northeast edition of New American Paintings, and she was recently published in the book Making Abstract Art. She received her BFA at Tyler School of Art and her MFA at Indiana University. Jennifer is currently a full professor at the University of New Hampshire.
These paintings reflect a New Englander's astonished reactions to the phenomenon of daily life in New Mexico. The work expresses moments from exploration of Bitter Lake, Carlsbad Caverns, Ghost Ranch, and the Hondo Valley, and also more intimate motifs found closer to home: spider webs and tumbleweeds, the pale colors of grass and scrub, and the drama of the sky. I attempt to allow my day-to-day experience influence the work with equal regard for the elegant and the ordinary. Whether it is the hallucinatory landscape, the desert flora and fauna, or the rows of tantalizing craft supplies at Hobby Lobby, I allow things glimpsed and sensed to become part of the language of the painting. Then in the studio I assemble disparate shapes, lines and colors in an attempt to tell the tale of a tourist in a foreign land--spellbound.
