An excerpt from her book, Jennifer Hornyak by David Malboeuf & Rima Hammond, we catch a glimpse into the beauty and work of Hornyak:

“Jennifer looks at the world around her and its attentive to the details that reveal traces of that omnipresent beauty, as it will undoubtedly inspire future paintings. Rather than attempt to replicate such instances, she prefers to portray their essence in her art. “We cannot reproduce nature,” she says, when discussing the role of the artist, “nor should we want to. All we can do is see and feel, and aim to transcend ourselves.”

Merging was chosen in order to highlight how my work has transitioned over the last few years, from a more defined image to a more abstract vision.  Shown are oil paintings on canvas or board intermixed with works on paper to further emphasize the transitional nature of the two styles. - Jennifer Hornyak
