Artist Statement
Jenna Martin Leitch is an artist & writer based in Fife, Scotland. A past graduate of DJCAD, graduating in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Printmaking.
Jenna grew up in the wilds of Aberdeenshire, and she has always been inspired by her time spent in the great outdoors.
Birds feature in much of her work, with the concepts of the nest, of flight, and of feathers being her main sources of inspiration. Home, family and spreading of wings.
Jenna’s ethereal artworks have a connection to both her own childhood, surrounded by the wildlife and countryside of the North East of Scotland, and family holidays in the Glens of Perthshire. She also uses imagery to create visual stories and capture memories of, and for, her own children. She draws her own children in nature; and with her drawings and paintings, purveys the way being within and amongst nature makes you feel.
She works primarily in graphite and coloured pencil, Japanese watercolour and written word.
Through open-hearted & wide-eyed observation of the natural world, her intricate and detailed works are filled with wonder and imagination. The tiny details that may go unnoticed, and the treasures she finds along the way.
She creates works to bring JOY!
