Jennifer Pochinski’s vibrant oil paintings extend the traditions of the early twentieth-century by boldly exploring rhythms of space and the expressive potential of color and form. In her newest works, she sets human figures into lush natural environments redolent of the tropics: mineral-rich earth, brilliant sky, and crystalline water. Brilliant compositions combine with contemplative figures creating a lens into her remembered tropical world.
