Jennifer Troulis
Color is what I love most in other artist’s works as well as my own because it excites me and gives me a sense of connection to all that is good and positive in life. I also love pointillism. The marriage between color and the dots along with my emerging creative style has allowed me to create paintings that have movement, dimension and colors that change in intensity and mood with lighting. I find these attributes to be not only exciting but kind of magical.
I started sculpting when I was 12 and, in my early twenties, I took my only art class, “Water Color Painting for Beginners,” and participated in my first art show, winning first place for a clay sculpture titled, “Beat-up Sneaker.” Inspired by the books I had read to my twins at bedtime, in 2003 and then in 2007, I wrote, illustrated and published the first two middle-grade chapter books in a series about twin sisters who are witches.
Years later, when COVID hit, I once again picked up my paint brush. This time, I decided to try my hand at pointillism. For the first time in my life, I felt like I really belonged to this creative process and it to me.
I am currently showing my artwork in local galleries and libraries and I recently won an Honorable Mention award for my painting, "The Wave," at Blue Koi Gallery.
