Zimbabwean Taxi Home

From my roots as a Zimbabwean. In an economic crisis, lack of petrol and hence tranport, saw many scenes like this. Art materials were also scarce. This is handmade rag paper. Unsized, it lends itself to drawing in oil pastels set with shoe polish.

I have demonstrated this unique technique to many art societies.
Colourful Jazz Bands – which the audience thoroughly enjoyed.

About The Artist

I have lived in Berkshire in the UK for 20 years.

I am a demonstrator and tutor and have had great fun demonstrating to and teaching lots of different Art organizations in the UK and abroad, both face to face and online.

I developed my mixed-media technique out of necessity. Living in a country struggling under the weight of economic sanctions, teachers and artists had to learn to improvise with natural flora and fauna. More information on my website.

I have also won various awards for my mixed-media paintings at Patchings Annual Art Exhibition in Calverton, near Nottingham.

Mixed-Media Art by Sandhurst Artist and Art Tutor Jenny Whalley - Flight and Chatter
I demonstrate to Art Societies around the uk and abroad, with very positive feedback:

“Jenny is a tremendously creative, talented artist. Her creations transform a home. Plus … she managed to teach a non-painter to complete a few pieces . She’s patitent, hilarious, great fun – a superb teacher!”

Art Groups / Exhibitions

I belong to the Crowthorne and Sandhurst Art Society. From 2001-2005 I was their exhibition secretary. I have also exhibited with The Society of Women Artists at the Mall Gallery, twice.

The Nolan Trust Biennial Exhibition invited me to exhibit when I first arrived in the UK. One of the paintings was of a seagull pinching a chip. There is a very funny story attached to the exhibition of the painting, to read on my website.
