Jenny Elks

artwork
My name is Jenny Elks and I live at Valentine, which is part of Lake Macquarie. I started to paint twelve years ago after retiring from TAFE. It was always one of those things I wanted to do when time permitted so, after years of teaching in the secretarial area of TAFE, I began under the tutelage of Joyce Dellaca who is a well-known watercolourist.

This has been one of the most exciting and addictive pastimes I have ever undertaken with always new things to learn and different directions to take. The work I have displayed is an example of some of the subjects I most enjoy doing with a special interest in water scenes as well as birds and children.

Recently, I have taken a new interest in pastels (none of which I have displayed here) and hope to further this area of my work as the vibrancy of the colours in pastels adds a new dimension.

All the paintings displayed are fully framed and I do enjoy individual commissions. I have completed many over the years and sometimes add personal touches such as children playing in the sand.

I am part of the committee of the Newcastle Art Society and regularly exhibit my work with their exhibitions and also the exhibitions of the Newcastle Society of Artists.

Please contact me if you are interested in any of the work I have displayed or similar to your requirements. The measurements quoted with the paintings include frames.
