Jen Gash - Artist

I am a life-long artist, exploring physical and psychological landscapes.

Willing to embrace serendipidity and emergence in the painting process, and excited by notions of adaptation, resilience, loss, oddities and the nature of human “doings”

“Jen has something else and it’s that thing that art has. It’s something unquantifiable. It moves us in a way we didn’t know we could be moved and it opens up a whole new way of seeing the world and that is quite remarkable for an artist to be able to do that” Tai-Shan Shierenberg

About Me

After painting furiously as a teen, I trained as an occupational therapist and kept painting as a second profession. As a painter I am interested in: the landscape as psychology/psychological backdrop; the fragility of children and teenagers; themes around engagement/disengagement in activities; abandoned play and leisure environments. These painting themes somehow reflect my career in both occupational therapy and coaching. Although it might sound like a strange mix, all these disciplines have a creative heart and believe in the potential for human beings to live engaged, meaningful lives.

In recent years I have published texts on creativity and coaching and in 2018 I won Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the year, with a prize commission for the Imperial War Museum - it's been a busy few years!
