MORE ABOUT ARTIST JENNIFER GILDRED

How We Got Here

Jennifer Gildred paints colorful abstracts using primarily acrylics and oils on stretched canvas or wood panels. In her early years, her subject matter focused on colorful, primitive figures with tribal themes. From there, she moved on to making paintings based on her own personal narratives, focusing on facial expressions, body language and relationship behavior. At times, her work delves into basic abstract color relationships, and other times, her work will serve as political or social commentary.

​

Jennifer Gildred attended The Lacoste École des Beaux Arts in France, then under the Cleveland Institute of Art. She then went on to receive a Bachelor of Art in Fine Art from The University of Southern California, and a Master of Art in Psychology from Sonoma State University. Mrs. Gildred has traveled around the world and has gained a broad perspective of the human palette, and has shown her work in many countries. After years of practicing Art Therapy in the Sonoma and Marin Counties of California, working first with the developmentally disabled a a social worker, and then with children in hospice, she now focuses primarily on her art in her home studio in Sonoma County. When not in her studio, she loves to be outside, either at work in her gardens, or on a hiking trail in the mountains behind her home.
