Jennifer Mitchell

Jennifer was born in 1955 and is one of Blackstone’s artistic Gems. Jennifer has
been painting since 2008 and is a natural colourist and has a delicate touch with
her unique dotting style.

Jennifer has developed as a painter from strength to strength incorporating what works well in a work and finding new ways to unique style of painted dabbles with a brush which are overlaid with a delicate dotting from the sharp end of a stick. She paints the country, looking down from the sky, imagining the delicate dappling of the spinifex and grass overlaying the hardness of the rock surfaces beneath. You really do get a sense of flying over the country, looking down at the painting while standing above it, and you get the sense of wanting to ‘jump in’ to the country. Jennifer knows this country well, the clay pans, the hills, the dry creek beds and soaks and the sand dunes and with this knowledge she is transported back to country as she paints it from above.

Painting is a way of life for Jennifer and day by day she crosses lines between painting country and visiting country and the two become one with the power of country being felt within the delicate dotting of her work.
