Jenny Wheatley’s paintings give a sense of warmth and vitality to the viewer. One of the youngest ever elected members of the Royal Watercolour Society, she was initially best known for her works in water-based media. In recent years her large oils and acrylics have been widely collected both by the private and public sectors. Much of her work is influenced by her frequent travels abroad, where she paints in situ and collects information and artefacts that appear in her larger, more formal studio paintings.
