Jenny E. Balisle's inspiration comes from patterns in nature and Asian calligraphy by exploring chemical reactions in her paintings. She creates non-representational images that focus on passion and emotion while using traditional painting techniques to preserve archival integrity.
While attacking the art with an ambidextrous approach, she achieves cohesiveness by using similar elements over a series of work. Her paintings consist of oil paint, stand oil, gamsol, liquin, galkyd, and a touch of nail polish as pure accent. The heavily textured paintings include up to fourteen layers of paint and can take one to two years to complete.
Jenny E. Balisle earned a B.A. in Art and Communication from University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and a M.F.A from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She works as a full-time artist and teaches Critical Thinking, Abstract and Interpretation and directed studies at the AAU graduate school. Balisle has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows throughout the United States, such as; Harvard University, San Francisco State University, the Golda Foundation at the Fresno Art Museum, the Chicago Cultural Center and Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in such publications as; The Renascent Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Sculptural Pursuits Magazine and Best of America Mixed Media Artists and Artisans Volume 1. Balisle was also featured in the Hearts in San Francisco public art project.
