Hide The Assets, 36" x 48"

36 H x 48 W x 1.5 D inches. Acrylic on Canvas. 2025.

"Born from the political unrest of early 2025, this piece embodies a quiet yet statured presence, as if to shield and confront in equal measure. It speaks to a deep concern over one of our most vital resources - water - a human right, now threatened to be commodified by corporate and political aggressors. This work urges you to look closer and pay attention. A reminder to protect the land, for it belongs to no one."

Jen attended Sheridan's BAA Illustration program before emerging into the Toronto art community in the early 2010s. Her works in large format acrylic explore themes of loneliness, nature, and a subtle complexity under veils of visual pleasantry. Jen has often felt like a wallflower to the human race, often watching the modern world from the edges of nature with a longing for human connection yet a lack of discernment for how to proceed. Her natural state better connects to animals and the curiosities of the wilderness, often depicted in her work through one or two sentient beings nestled within childlike botanical motifs. Folk art represents a more natural human experience, which she believes is something that needs to be preserved for us to all feel connected to our universal lineage.
