Jackie Battenfield uses painting to create luminous works of natural forces & fauna.
Jackie Battenfield is known for her luminous paintings and prints of natural forces. Her works explore her fascination with the most abstract qualities of landscape— most recently the natural unfolding and leafing of a tree branch as carefully reconstructed through the unique physical properties and behavior of liquid paint pigments.
Battenfield received a BS at Pennsylvania State University and earned her Masters in Fine Arts from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University 1978. Her work is represented in over 500 collections worldwide including: The New York Public Library, New York; The Zimmerli Art Museum, Montclair Art Museum, New Jersey; Palmer Museum, Pennsylvania; and the United States Embassy Collections, Brazil, Cambodia, Croatia, Jamaica, and Peru.
