"Wilmington Standup Paddleboard" by Jenny McKinnon Wright

Jennny McKinnon Wright

Jenny McKinnon Wright is "intrigued by light as it affects nature in a particular moment. To paint that emotion and share it with the viewer is my goal.” Working en plein air allows her to capture the feeling that only painting on location can offer.

For those who have her work, her sense of color shines through.. Although she is personally enlivened by the locations she paints, those places then become the viewer's own experience.

"Something catches my eye-the light, the composition, the colors that I actually see. If the light on a subject is glowing in the late afternoon sun, I might under paint the scene in a warm color. Later, that under painting will be visible, giving the painting the glow that attracted me earlier."

A constant student, Wright delights in the journey of pushing oil paint around in luscious color combinations using varied techniques to build forms. Learning is her passion and every painting is a teacher!

Both a studio and plein air painter, Wright first realized her artistic love at her watercolor artist Aunt Sarah's side. She then earned an art degree from ECU, followed by MFA graduate work at GA State University, while teaching high school art in Atlanta. Inspired by Impressionist artists,Wright continues to study with nationally known painters. Always a student!

Her work hangs in public places and many private collections. She is represented by Fine Art Local Gallery and the Cameron Art Museum shop.
