Professional Artist Statement:
Jennifer Fritsch, Art teacher & professional artist

My art has taken a new and complete twist into the realm of the unconscious and conscious mind. I would describe my art as Surreal Expressionist Abstraction because it is a combination of all of those styles; not particularly pertaining to any one idea or style, thus really creating my own genre of painting. My art has developed recently as an outlet for my emotions, inhibitions, dreams, thought, feelings, fears and anxieties. My paintings and drawings have taken a glimpse into the inner world of my soul, my breadth, the self deprecating view of myself and sometimes the torture that I put my mind through. They are an extremely personal area or my exploration often pushing myself to take a deeper and closer look into the secret side of my whole being. Some of the paintings and drawings reflect my innate desire to become a mother and the heartbreak of my confirmed inability while several take a look into the loneliness of my heart after the recent passing of my father. Still others take a look into my inner demons, the secret side of me.

From time to time my art does not require interpretation, often the title says it; and yet sometimes I choose not to provide it, for without it the audience can find their own meaning in my work. I want the viewer to think about the possibilities of my visual language as well as the interpretation of my symbols and metaphors.

WELCOME

Well I am officially up to the 21st century. I have no MySpace but I have a blog. Yippee!!!
I hope you visit often as I will begin to include much more information about me, school and my art. I hope you all get as excited as I am to finally be able to be in tune with the rest of the world.
Be patient with me. I just started and am slowly learning.
Pictures to come soon!
