JENNIFER RASMUSSON
Jennifer Rasmusson studied art with George William Allen before attending Lyme Academy of Fine Art in Connecticut and Dundas Valley School of Art in Ontario, Canada.
Rasmusson works in series based on subjects that capture her interest. She often starts by depicting her subject matter with representational accuracy floating on imagined backgrounds. As she moves deeper into her explorations her focus moves toward an abstracted essence described by line, mass and form. Her colors stop describing what she’s viewing, becoming an academic exercise of restraint and balance.
In her latest solo painting exhibition "Coming Together Falling Apart" she expands the floral themes of her recent work to include visual references to dance. Rasmusson's brushwork interprets and unifies a fluidity of movement found both in floral forms and dance motions.
