Jennifer Kershaw is a representational oil painter whose layered glazes evoke the Dutch still life tradition and echo the influence of Mary Pratt. Her work explores the transformative power of light, elevating everyday objects into jewel-like subjects that embody both beauty and impermanence. A graduate of the University of Guelph, she refines her practice through meticulous technique, creating paintings that are contemplative studies of time, memory, and presence.
