Jenny maps out new worlds, making marks, by scraping and scratching lines in layers of earthy color, back to a rich, bright light. The imagery includes arrows, numbers, directions, addresses of unknown destinations. Sometimes found objects populate the mixed media work. These works are beautiful, even as they tell stories of disruption, conflict, and emotional release . Dr. M. Krautschneider

Jenny Davis' lyrical paintings with their muted yet glowing colours and elegant, evocative abstract forms floating in space are a once powerful and subtle. Lawrence Downes. Gallery& Studio .New York.
