Jennye Stubblefield presently lives and paints from her home studio in San Antonio, Texas. She is a native of Kentucky, where her love of the landscape arose. Before moving to San Antonio, she completed her classical training in painting and printmaking at The Pennsylvania Academy of The Fine Arts, and degree at the University of Pennsylvania. She received many awards and travel grants, allowing her to spend time in Europe to further her studies. Stubblefield has had the opportunity to study with or have studio critics with Janet Fish, Manuel Neri, Sidney Goodman, Vincent Desiderio, and others. Presently, she actively displays and ships her work around the United States to numerous Invitational and Juried Exhibitions each year.
Stubblefield sees herself as an Aerial Landscape Painter, savoring in the delicate dance between abstraction and realism in response to this perspective. Her favorite muse is an aerial vantage point-a source of endless reflection, meditation, and inspiration. Fascinated by The Sublime and Ephemeral, she explores how aerial travel and the visual impressions it leaves can evoke awe and wonder. Taking to the skies across vast landscapes, she captures nature's grandeur from a fresh, modern perspective, transforming her impressions into captivating oil paintings. The earth's typography sparks her creativity, informing her compositions, designs, and color palettes. She embraces the landscape's raw abstractions and vibrant hues, allowing them to shine through and, at times, dominate the picture plane.
~Artists observe and experience the world differently, more analytically and emotionally; finding moments of inspiration, question, wonderment, and beauty in places where most don't even notice. Artists display creations of vitality, curiosity, inventive ways of seeing, and experimentation, reminding their viewers to slow down and savor this human experience, even for just a moment.~ JS.
