About | Jennifer McClellan

When first I ventured out to do a plein air painting in 2004, I was unsure of what I was getting myself into, somewhat scared you might say. I got lost in the mixing of the paint, the creation of the scene in front of me. I did not feel “scared” I felt free by being out of doors in nature. I knew this was something that I would pursue.

I have endeavored to pursue the free feeling I got 15 years ago to create something beautiful, something that would inspire the viewer to enjoy the scene as much as I did.

By choosing scene’s that will draw the viewer in, adding that spontaneous touch of color or unusual shape and creating a mood to enhance the painting is how I invite the viewer “You” to enjoy.

Jennifer has taken oil painting workshops since 2004 from Mark Kerckhoff, John Cosby, Jeff Horn, Joe Paquet, Jill Carver, Aaron Schuerr, Todd Connor, and many others. In 2010 Jennifer closed her commercial space planning/interior design business of 30 years to pursue her art career. She and her husband, Patrick have built their home & studio in Sheridan, Montana and are seriously pursuing their art careers.
