about
Jennifer Case
I was that kid who covered my school work in curly doodles, filling the borders with intricate scribbles and designs. I was that kid who filled her pockets with rocks and shells, drawn to some interesting twist or scar. Taken home, these treasures were proudly displayed on a windowsill for all to see. I’m still that kid; I still doodle and collect rocks and my windowsills are filled with found treasures. I can be easily distracted by the way light shines through the trees or how rocks change color after it rains.
To me, the process of making art is like solving a puzzle and you create each piece as you go. It’s the problem solving I enjoy; taking what’s in my imagination and creating something while using stained glass, broken dishes, tile, shells, found or recycled items as the palette. I am inspired by nature and the beauty around us. I love to create birds, fish, animals, flowers, and faces. I work for an international non-profit, which allows me to spend time in the outdoors, constantly inspired by the natural world around me. My mosaics can be dimensional or flat, opaque, or transparent; I love to let the materials speak to the subject. I also paint, quilt, and make jewelry…my drive to create is what gets me up every day and keeps me awake most nights. Mosaics have brought my artistic interests – color, composition, piecing, and tools, together in one medium. I made my first mosaic in 2018 and continue to learn something new with every piece.
