Artist Statement: "I come with joy to meet my Lord, forgiven, loved, and free, in awe and wonder to recall his life laid down for me." (Hymn #304, The Hymnal 1982).
Bio: Joy Jennings is an impressionist painter who loves stories of La Belle Époque and historical novels of the epoch of the Two World Wars. The creativity and resilience of these monumental times in our history have always inspired her, from the works of artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Béraud, Bonnard, Morisot, Degas, as well as such early twentieth century writers as Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Camus, Sartre, and always T.S. Eliot. The impact of the stories told to her of these times by her parents and grandparents created a foundational love and respect for these times.
