Featured Artists

Jena Campbell studies and creates art in Philadelphia. She has exhibited in numerous Philadelphia galleries and has been the recipient of the Thouron Prize, Charles Toppan Prize, Earl T. Donelson Figure Painting Award and the Cast Painting Prize. Campbell is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and is currently working toward her BFA at the University of Pennsylvania.

Campbell’s paintings are the result of numerous applications of color and texture, which evoke a sense of depth, light and movement. Her use of color and texture create an atmosphere that is ever changing and moving. Her oil paintings give the impression of a transitory shimmer of brightness emerging from a rich black and brown gloom. Each image is an intention “to create an experience between you and the canvas; to foster self-reflection and awareness.”

In her own words, Jena Campbell says, “My intent is to break up the monotony that so many of us feel in our lives, with an intense escape into a place of true sublimity.”
