Jennifer Swan Hopkins
What
They Say:
Impelled by the artists in her family and encouraged by those inspired and touched by her work, entrepreneur, artist, and author Jennifer Swan Hopkins opened two on-line businesses and began selling her art, literature, and functional pieces to the retail market in 2007.
A Minnesota native, her work can be found throughout North America, Australia and the UK. She offers a unique alliance of art, writing, and function. Original ideas become a unique and beautiful expression; forgotten bits of history or legend are reincarnated through her charming interpretations and find their way onto canvases, tapestries, shades, books and boxes. Her mixed media works feature techniques incorporating assemblage, canvas work, collage, altered art, writing, and pure creative energy.
You may find her enchanting items at her stores StudioCygne.us, MaidenShade.com, her blog MaidenShade.net, as well as at the Dunedin Fine Art Center, MaidenShade on: Etsy, Blurb, Bonanza, ArtFire, Stylehive, and at local shows and art fairs.
What I Say:
I was influenced by illustrators, artists (my family holds a more than a few), folk-lore, faerie tales, canonical literature, art, educators, nature, and history. From these complex constituents comes a glimpse into this artist's very heart. As each story is revealed, and I weave my passion, positive energy, and purpose into every unique piece; my commitment to the whole, this deeply personal involvement and spiritual connection is what sets my work, in whatever medium, apart.
I am passionate and possessed by what I do; I love it!
