RANA

Rana at work

I am currently living in S W France in a very isolated area surrounded by wild scrub land.

My studio is a roundhouse built from limestone which lies in abundance here, and oak wood from the trees.
In the winter months I head down to Southern Spain and paint in the foothills of the Alpujarran mountain range.

I choose to live close to nature, for it is from here that I gain the inspiration for my inner work.

My paintings are inspired from the earth...the source...the mother of all things.

I listen to the silence within...to my dreams and intuitions and paint from my heart.

Major inspirations for my paintings have been from travels in Australia, dry arid landscapes such as The Painted Desert in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern Spain, N Africa and the traditional art of all these regions.

For most of my life I have been living successfully as a more commercial artist under my given name Jenni Rodger and painting for myself in my spare time, but these days I find myself devoting more time and energy to my inner work.
