Jenny Liu is a Canadian Chinese watercolor artist based in Vancouver, Canada. Known for being ethereal and atmospheric, Jenny’s watercolor and mixed medium paintings reflect her fascination with the mountains of Western Canada, Pacific North West and beyond.
Over the years Jenny has developed her own unique visual vocabulary. In her art making process, she always follows her own intuition exploring memories, imaginations and emotions. Every artwork is the result of an artistic exploration and a conversation between her soul and the divine power of the universe. The calming atmospheric and meditative images of mountain landscapes depicted in Jenny’s paintings show the influence of both Eastern and Western stylistic tradition.
Trained as a landscape architect, Jenny has both a Bachelor of Engineering in Landscape Architecture (1983) and Master Degree of Landscape Architecture (1993). She started painting full time in 2018 after practicing landscape architecture for more than thirty years. Since then, she has participated in many group shows including: 2022 Landscape Exhibition, Federation Gallery, Vancouver; 2022 International Watercolor Exhibition, Niigata, Japan; Ethereality Exhibition at Silk Purse Gallery, West Vancouver 2023. In 2023 she won a Bronze Award at Shades of Blue 2023 International Juried Art Competition hosted by Camelback Gallery, USA. Her artworks can be found in private collections in Canada, USA, Singapore and Mexico.
