About Jennifer Malone
Jennifer Malone contemplates empathy in each of her works, always seeking a connection with her subjects. She presents structures, figures, and objects to express their significance in the context of the moment. Her current focus is inanimate objects, her vibrant still life pieces paying careful mind to light and shadow. She preserves moments worth commemorating, considering, and lamenting over. Some works share the horror, fear, sadness, and embarrassment encapsulated in her view of the United States’ present state of affairs. Form, lines, and color emote on her behalf, resulting in a carefully planned composition where every single detail matters immeasurably. Much of her art is influenced by where she has lived, from her upbringing in New York City to her time in Philadelphia, London, Hoboken, Jersey City, and a lifetime of summers on the Shore. She has been featured in various exhibitions, largely in the New Jersey area.

Artist Statement
Jennifer’s representational, yet painterly oils reflect her contemplation of, and empathy for her subjects. She presents her structures, figures and objects in a way that expresses their significance in the context of her experience. Currently, she is exploring inanimate objects; still lifes, often vibrant with a focus on light and shadow that depict moments worth commemorating, considering, lamenting. Some of her work has been focused on her feelings about the human condition given the current state of affairs here in the States. These share horror, fear, sadness, embarrassment.
Jennifer’s work is influenced by her upbringing in New York City, living in Philadelphia, London, Hoboken and Jersey City, a lifetime of summers at the Jersey Shore and now residing in Maplewood, NJ. She has been an avid art lover since high school. Her interest in form, design and color, with a love of light and line led Jennifer to painting. Pursuing her interest in these artistic elements provided a welcome contrast to her career in finance. Now, after over ten years of study, she is finding her voice by integrating those elements in representations and abstractions of structures, figures and still lifes.
Jennifer has lived in Maplewood, NJ for almost 6 years, 5 miles from her previous home of 10 years in Summit, NJ.
