Agnes Jorgensen’s Artist’s Statement: “My art is inspired by life, by the people around me and by all that is us. Creating art connects me to a beautiful place within myself where stories lay waiting for an opportunity to be expressed. Oil paints are my favourite medium. They have a richness and vibrancy yet warmth and luminescence that I am able to achieve by using the Old-Master technique. Throughout the buildup of each layer I strive to create an expression of feminine softness within my art to communicate emotion, a sense of harmony, depth and texture.”
