About Jenny Smy

 
 
  • Biography
    What drives me to create art? I find this a really difficult question to answer, is it enough to say I must? That I become unhappy in myself if I am not doing something to do with art. When I was interviewed for my BA application, this was asked of me and I found it difficult to answer then. It's not about wanting to be famous or wealthy, it's about the need to create in my own way, a way of self expression that I am unable to express in any other way. Why do I want to sell it on Artfinder? A friend of mine suggested that I should try Artfinder and when I looked at the reviews on line, they were very positive. Until recently, most of my selling has been through galleries and exhibitions, but in these days of covid, there aren't so many opportunities as before.
