Artists

Jen Dixon is a multi-disciplinary artist and art educator specialising in abstract and figurative work. Originally from Indiana, she lives in a windy village on the North Cornwall coast of England. Never bored, her work covers everything from graffiti-influenced illustration, mixed media abstracts, to more traditional painting and drawing. She enthusiastically believes in trying everything and taking risks in art. Her work is sometimes humorous, often autobiographical, and frequently involves a chaos-into-order theme. She appreciates the work ethic of Warhol and Picasso, and admires the art of Twombly, Mitchell, and Basquiat. An Industrial Designer by degree, her process oscillates between discipline and discovery. When she’s not drawing or painting, she plays video games, cooks, participates in beach cleans, sings loudly, and is probably spilling tea down her front. Her art is in private collections around the world, and she is a Skillshare Top Teacher. Jen has been using and recommending Daler-Rowney materials for many years, and especially loves their range of papers, System3 Acrylic paints, and FW Inks.
