December 9th, 2024Daylesford arts pop-up ahead

The vibrant work of Jennifer England will be part of the upcoming Daylesford Arts pop-up at 94 Vincent Street, Daylesford from December 13 – 15.  

Jennifer started painting at the age of four and had her first solo exhibition at 17.  

She earned a Diploma of Fine Arts in Sydney in 1992 and lived and worked there as an artist for many years, exhibiting her work extensively across the city.  

Pausing her career for motherhood in 2009, she moved back to Coffs Harbour, her hometown, where she worked for headspace, a mental health foundation helping  young people through life crises.  

It was here she developed a passion for art as therapy and using that, was able to steer a course through her own life crisis.  

Relocating to Glenlyon in 2018, and later Daylesford, she resumed painting and her colourful artworks have become well known on the local art scene.  

Her oil-on-canvas piece titled Babooshka won the Still Life category in the 2024  Daylesford Rotary Art Show.

“I love still life and I love the Renaissance painters and I  just put my own whimsical twist on it,” she says.

Jennifer’s work will be part of the upcoming Daylesford Arts pop-up at 94  Vincent Street, Daylesford from December 13 – 15.  

Daylesford Arts is now having solo exhibitions for each of the artists at the  Visitor Information Centre – currently on exhibition are works by Pam Gleeson.
