About Me
HI I'm Jenny Hawke and I live and work in Surrey. I am mainly self-taught but also have learnt from my father, well known artist and author Eddie Askew. His style of painting shows freedom and simplicity, using colour and line in such an original way . He gave me so much encouragement thatI will always be grateful, and he continues to be my inspiration as I develop my own style.
I love colour and have come to love the unpredictability of watercolour, waiting as the pigments mix with each other, never quite sure of where they will go.
Some of my work has been used as illustrations for books and am very happy to take on further commissions.
I have also co-written three books using my father's unfinished writings, which have been kindly published by The Leprosy Mission. {See the 'Books' link for more details.}
I am passionate about getting my art out into churches and the wider world. I also love showing others how to develop their own creativity through my Creative Art Workshops.
Life is so full of colour and light, and to be able express not only what you see outside of yourself, but also to paint what is inside is a wonderful thing.
Art can and should be an exciting and integral part of life.
The paintings in these galleries all have a story behind them, as all paintings do. Take time looking at them and see what you see, let the images speak to you. Enjoy.
All of the paintings are available for sale, and many of the images are in greeting card form and may also be available as prints of varying size.
