About Jessica Leigh Owen

 
 
  • Biography
    My name is Jess and I am a self-taught artist, living and working in West Wales.  I paint original pieces, using professional acrylic paint and canvas.  I love to create abstract pieces, exploring the use of colour and movement in applying the paint.   I love lots of vibrant colour and feel my work reflects this. 

      I enjoy using different forces in applying the paint.  Whether that be gravitational force via manipulation of the canvas or pouring paint and allowing it to fall from a height.  I also really enjoy using centrifugal force via my spin machine.  I also use skewers, needles and syringes, and palette knives to manipulate the paint and create more ‘intricate’ interactions between the colours.  My rainbow coloured (pet) sheep are the inspiration for each of my painting’s names. 

    I just love what I do and hope that you do too.  I find colour very emotive and feel happy when I’m around lots of bright, vibrant colour.  This is why II paint. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

    Thank you.
