Welcome


Art Vogue was created to showcase Jenny’s art works and design concepts. Her interests are diverse, from tour guiding, home décor and now carving sculptures and is constantly evolving in her subject matter and style.
Living in Cairns, Tropical North Queensland in superb surrounds is a constant inspiration to her.

The Art

Jenny is constantly evolving in her subject matter and style. The exploration of colour and mixed media is a journey in itself. Oils are her favourite, but can be quite climate dependant in the tropical monsoonal surrounds. This brought about the much used acrylic, ink and mixed media artworks.  Jenny is happy to accept commissions including portraits and painted from sittings at her home studio or other source of reference supplied by clients. Much of her art is produced to harmonise with the clients’ décor.

Currently, Jenny is exhibiting at the Cairns Reef Casino from 10th January until 30th April, 2007. Here you can view 18 of her artworks, which will be replaced as they are sold.
The demand for larger sized art has not challenged her. Jenny has produced three murals, which will no doubt interest the corporate sector. The canvasses measure 1800 x 2600mm.

Among the exhibition works is a series of ink and acrylic portraits and stunning palette knifed floral murals. Some of the artwork demonstrates lovely texture works and also a take on the “La Sistina Madonna”. This has an ‘aboriginal substitution’ and adorable in its own right.
Jenny has challenged herself to produce for the first time a carved wooden sculpture, which will be included in this exhibition.

The Home

Jenny has designed and built, if not renovated over a dozen homes. This is purely an extension of her artwork. If not showing her art, her current home in itself is a showcase, including several furniture re-vamps.
Many of the interior features were designed by Jenny, such as the door carvings, including deep etched glass works and balustrade. These were beautifully handcrafted to her design in Indonesia.
The current trend is collecting deco style furniture, which she used for her own displays. Home visits are not a problem, this enables Jenny to fine tune the right fabric, colour schemes to suit the décor. More information is found here.

Tour Guiding

Jenny had a 25 year background as Cabin Manager with one of Australia’s Airlines. This has naturally given her an extensive knowledge of Australia, as well as overseas. This training and experience has stood in good stead and nothing is too much trouble for her.

From fully escourted tours, either for the individual or group bookings, the itinerary is  tailored to the needs of the most discerning clients.
