About the artist:
Jennifer Charboneau is an American contemporary painter based in Reno, Nevada. After completing her BFA in 2008 she then traveled abroad living and working as a nomadic painter and muralist for over 5 years. Her work is held in private collections across Europe, Australia, South Korea and Mexico. She has been involved in exhibitions in over a dozen cities across the globe and has curated numerous public art events under her ongoing community project, Alley Art.
Jennifer found herself in Reno in 2015 and immediately got involved with the energetic art scene, working as the head gallery curator in a few local artist collectives while also organizing a consistent string of pop-up galleries for solo projects and unique installations.
She currently creates and operates out of her home studio and continues to travel for live painting performances and national + international art fairs and exhibitions.
Creating with a minimalist palette and approach, Charboneau’s landscapes and figures become refined gestural abstractions of form and movement with ink, charcoal, and bold splashes of color. Her artwork is often influenced by the poetry and prose she writes while traveling to new places and exploring in Nature’s most secluded regions. These “visual philosophies” invite the viewer to discover their own context within the works while meditating on the intricate layers of time and space she encapsulates.
Some muses that influence Charboneau’s artwork across all borders are:
impressionism. expressionism. street art. nature. philosophy. jazz. haiku & prose poetry. and people watching (social anthropology).
“I am a visual philosopher who is out to absorb all that this life has to show… then spit it out onto canvas and paper as chaotically and yet beautifully as it was first observed.”
