Throughout the month of April, the FW Front Gallery at Woolworth Walk will feature 12 new paintings by Asheville artist Jennifer Barrineau. A reception with the artist will be held from 5–7 p.m. on April 1.

A “tree” artist (she owned Tree Gallery and Gifts in downtown Asheville), Jennifer’s series captures the brightly colored essence of spring’s renewal. Her artistic expression leads viewers into a world where vibrant color, texture, and shape coalesce into thought-provoking creations.

“I paint because I have to,” says Jennifer, “and because I love to. Paint is a very magical medium for me. It enables me to extract from the thousands upon thousands of images racing through my mind, and share them with the world.”
