Artist Summary for Jennifer Kivari:
Art has always fascinated me; how different textures, mediums and objects can come together to create an image, statement, convey feelings or tell a story. I enjoy incorporating natural and recycled objects in an unusual context, adding different layers and depth to a piece which creates a beautiful finished product; all which will last generations! I love to work with clients who want a personal consignment piece including their own meaningful trinkets, keepsakes, photos etc. which adds to the sentimental value. My inspirations can spring from a found object, a beautiful sunset, a candid moment with my kids, a trinket my child pulled up from the bottom of his or her toy box, the lids of my teapot or even a sequence of feeling or events that happened that day. We are surrounded by a splendor of artistic magnificence and magic. We all need to open our eyes which are the windows to our souls, and discover even the smallest wonders. You will see this form of art has truly unlimited possibilities. Take a chance, be creative, and express yourself. I create art to share the way I see things, with humor, sensitivity and a touch of magic.
My Vision:
My art can inspire, expand perspectives, or perhaps remind us of our spirit and truth we already know. By creating art subjects rich with feeling, memories, humour, and meaningful messages along with combining and weaving layer upon layer under and above the glass results in a powerful medium full of clarity and depth. I whole-heartedly believe we all have a purpose on this earth, something of value and significance we can share with others. We are led through our life time by our inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is our real self. I want to share a part of myself and my ability and give back to the world; one art piece at a timeā¦
