Jen Sager appreciates art that feels intuitive, spirited, and unforced.
She is fascinated by the natural world and appreciates most those things that are rascally, whimsical, off-beat, visually weird, or storybookish. Jen grew up on the East Coast of the United States and loved to play outdoors. She spent summers wandering in the Great Smoky Mountains. Jen finds inspiration in the works of Van Gogh, Picasso, Edward Said Tingatinga, and Iris Scott. Her artwork reflects this while providing a fresh, light-hearted, and exuberant explosion of color.
