Jantien Powell

Jantien loves to paint life as she see it around her, the beautiful Welsh countryside, the hill farms and their inhabitants, as a farmers daughter, these are the things that are dear to her.

She paints mostly in acrylics but also loves to use collage and texture to add depth and layers to a painting. She cuts out relevant newspaper articles, sales reports from the cattle markets, images or text that she can weave into her paintings so that the viewer keeps finding new information, a name, a price, maybe a photograph that you might not notice at first. Not only does it add beautiful layers to a painting but it also adds an interesting marker in terms of dates and places that are included.
