Nick Jennings Artist Statement:

Painting for me is equal parts therapy and spiritual cleansing. The process is an amalgam of countless autonomous decisions and choices and as such, it is an expression of a freedom from constraints. To explain my art and what motivates me to paint, I feel it is important to be transparent about what has led me to immerse myself in the creative process with such a frequency and with such yearning. I am a trauma survivor whose extrication from years of abuse was hard-won. Inwardly I thirst for this sacred act of expressing appreciation for my freedom and for the people, proximal environment and circumstances that helped me to heal. I dive fully into this therapeutic and spiritually cleansing process for as long as the painting requires me to. I believe that my 6 years of living on Bowen Island helped to shape my overall artistic repertoire and technique, as I did several hundred paintings during the years I lived there, almost all of which depicted scenes and subject matter I was intimately familiar with. My enthusiasm to paint has not abated; I moved to Lynn Valley in mid-March of this year, and since that time I have already done 51 paintings and counting.
