Jennifer Annesley was born in Edmonton, Alberta and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in art and design from the University of Alberta. A full time artist since 1989, her watercolours and charcoal drawings attract corporate, private and public collectors and are acquired and exhibited internationally.

Annesley’s passion for the art and architecture of past centuries strongly influences her work. A focus on unusual light, shadow and texture creates drama in her architectural interiors, landscapes and still lifes. The artist has a powerful command of the watercolour and charcoal mediums, enabling her to achieve a vivid sense of time and place.

“The essence of my work lies in expressing a vivid sense of place, time and atmosphere. My subject matter and aesthetic are influenced by the seductive balance of elegance and power that can be found in the art and architecture of past centuries and the natural world.”
