About Me
Hi World!
I'M Jen Upchurch
I Believe A Colorful World is a Better World!
I’ve been a working artist for over twenty years! I have worked with oil to acrylic-to canvas to wood. I love painting with acrylic on anything. Heart Fam Fam is my latest work. The art skills on canvas blend together abstract techniques with German Expressionism, I started drawing my own community of people that I wanted to be around on bar napkins. Today each character is painted in black and white surrounded by color. Layers is the technique of many I use I am trying to paint my people to look like they are coming off the canvas.
A little history: I was born and raised in Georgia and went to GA State University. Highlights of University: Member of GA State Players theater company, member of dance company Movement Force and Earned "Players Award" at GA State University Theater Department! Moved to NYC after graduation worked on events such as Mermaid Parade, Coney Island USA, DECOM, NY Fringe Festival, Howl Festival, Action Arts League, NY Figment, and a member of Circle Arts. I had 5 sculptures premiere on Governor's Island, NYC for 4 years in a row. My sculptures have been displayed from New York to Nevada to Georgia. My paintings have been shown in numerous art shows and also community centers from Brazil to Morocco. Besides painting and sculpting I love to teach the arts as well.
I believe a person can never be satisfied with their artistic knowledge, as there is always more to learn and try. To me, an artist can be measured by how much they are willing to try. Believe in yourself because I believe in you!
