Jenny Urquhart’s journey from a biology teacher to self-taught artist is one of joy and self-discovery. She started painting in 2010 and since then her work has been hung in galleries and homes all over the Southwest. Having no formal training, Jenny has experimented with many styles and techniques, but her sources of inspiration are always drawn from warm memories and deep connection to nature.

Jenny’s academic background in Life Sciences adds a unique perspective to her art and this connection with the living world is evident in the themes and motifs she explores in her paintings. Despite living in an urban environment, her memories as a child, growing up surrounded by countryside, heavily influences her paintings and her work often portray happy feelings of rural tranquility.
