Meet the Artist
From Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, Jennet Inglis™ creates work that invites you to slow down and look more closely at the world around you.
Friends and colleagues refer to me as a creative savant. I am often told I must be superhuman, when it's simply genius autism. I used to cover up my autism because I felt unsafe being myself. But my thousands of paintings speak for me, so I can't deny who I really am. My world seems to slide through space at a different speed and amperage than those around me. One perception of myself is that ALL Time physically resides in me.
One of my first memories is being in a stroller in Manhattan when my mother stopped at a corner flower market. My face was pressed into those flowers, while my eyes were filled with their colors and shapes. I still remember those flowers, which is partly why I had to create these coloring books: to share with you my joy in nature.
My autism gives me a purpose, which is to inspire future generations. To that end, I have developed several public installation projects that synthesize Science, Art, and Spirit. I am grateful that my work profoundly affects others. I have been told, over and over again, that my projects will make a difference. So, here it is! I'm coming for you!
She's So Good ! Jennet has real art talent ! I want to see her become more well known for her work .

Asked by a news-reporter about artists in the Shenandoah Valley who are great but, hmm, a little too progressive for the area, I responded, ‘We have a world-class artist living here. There is only one. We are lucky to have her here. Her name is Jennet Inglis.

First, international artist, Jennet Inglis, is as great as the old masters. And, second, our modern masters. I believe she will be the leading artist of the 21st century.

Light hidden in darkness – my first thoughts on seeing the works of Jennet Inglis. My second thought - the quote from Guillaume Apollinaire, in 1912 about modern painting: “Pure painting means perhaps pure light…” Thus, I pay the highest compliment to Jennet Inglis: I say you are creating pure painting. You open for the viewer insights into the unknown origins of human being and thinking.

I've always been so impressed with your work, but your current work is way beyond any very-high expectations. I'm amazed at how fresh and charming your work is. Like no other. I feel like it’s time that your brilliant work be more widely known.

…it is especially satisfying to be part of a true artist's passion and vision. As well, witnessing the excitement of how materials take to a canvas, and to have that application surpass the vision itself. Most of all is to hear that my insignificant wish for a painting has allowed the joy that is everywhere in the world be a daily event in your studio. Now, through you, I have yet another example of how God's gifts to this world can be understood and enjoyed.

Jennet draws as well as Rembrandt, and paints like Cezanne – that breakthrough thing! The one thing that most observers cannot get their minds around is the breadth of both the subject matter and the multiple mediums she has truly mastered. It all gets back to the drawing!
