"The dance can be taken as a metaphor for the joy
Jenni feels about being alive. She wants us all
to see dancers, to feel joy from simply being
alive, to be brave enough to follow our
dreams."
When Jenni Eden moved to Oman in 2003 she saw it as the perfect opportunity to renew her interest in art and, particularly, painting. Very quickly it became more of a spiritual process for Jenni, it became a voyage of self-discovery, of re-discovery. Art became a way of re-activating an identity she felt she had lost somewhere in her journey. Being able to follow her dreams was exciting, uplifting and rejuvenating.
She has explored & experimented with both colour and emotion- producing vibrant, energetic images portraying dance and movement. The dancers are celebratory, inspired, with arms up-stretched, as if reaching up to heaven. To the viewer, this dance can be taken as a metaphor for the joy Jenni feels about being alive. She wants us all to see dancers, to feel joy from simply being alive, to be brave enough to follow our dreams.
Having built an impressive career as an artist in her short time in Oman, Jenni has returned to England and now lives in the beautiful North Yorkshire spa-town of Harrogate. Interest in her work is already gaining momentum and we look forward to featuring her work in our forthcoming exhibitions.
