Jen Collee

Jen Collee gained her BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art in 1999 and has since exhibited her work across the United Kingdom. 
 She currently works from her Edinburgh studio and regularly contributes to the Visual Arts Scotland exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy and shows her work at both the Glasgow Art Fair and Edinburgh Festival. Her paintings, of animals and horses in particular, are both dynamic and sympathetic, reflecting the presence and character of the subject with an understanding eye and deft technical skill. Her equine paintings are reminiscent of the painting of George Stubbs and Richard Stone Reeves and she shares their enthusiasm for the subject. Jen is a keen horsewoman and her passion and knowledge is evident in her work.

She is currently exhibiting at Flaubert Gallery in Edinburgh. So hopefully if I get the chance to go down to Edinburgh to have a look. As at a first glance her painting look amazing very fee and loose and you can feel the drama and atmosphere from the painting. 


Featured in the January 2011 edition, VOGUE Magazine said: "Jen Collee's New large scale equine paintings, in particular, are both dynamic and sympathetic, reflecting the presence and character of the subject, with and understanding eye and deft technical skill" and prompted new enquiries and sales to clients in the UK, Europe and the USA.
