Category: Exhibitions, visual art and Free event

"Abstracts on Display" will host a rotating series of abstract artists from around the country. Jen Sterling is the inaugural artist!

Artist's Statement: I can feel an entire shift in my thinking and my emotions when viewing a strikingly bold and colorful piece of art. The goal of my work is to inspire energy and excitement from within. These images are meant to make you feel strong and powerful — to burst into your morning with a zing, to prod you into action when you reach your midday lull, and/or to invigorate your senses after a long day. Ideally, my art evokes a reaction and reminds you that life is for feeling and stretching, and living.

JEN STERLING is an abstract painter based in Annapolis, MD. Her work inspires energy and excitement in homes and workspaces. She works large and small and adores commissions. For more info visit www.jensterling.com and follow @jensterlingart on Instagram.
