A rondelle style artwork painted by Jennifer McGregor.

Jennifer McGregor

Jennifer McGregor is a Canadian artist who reimagines the essential shape and character of landforms through abstraction. Her most recent series of paintings look to icebergs and their intervention with the surrounding seascape as a subject of visual investigation.

McGregor distills the 3-dimensional immensity of icebergs into planes of abstracted colour and design. Emphasizing the unique qualities of paint on surface is paramount to her process. McGregor pours, stains, scrapes, and layers oil and acrylic into imaginary forms on canvas that lie above and below a suggested horizon line, while an exploratory approach to colour brings her imagery out of the field of representation and into the realm of the visionary.

Originally from Alberta, Jennifer McGregor began a career in design before completing the Drawing & Painting program at the Ontario College of Art and Design (now OCAD University). After living internationally in Florence, Italy, for three years to expand her artistic training, she moved back to Ontario in 2006 to establish her professional studio practice. Her works are held in private and corporate collections across Canada, the United States, India and the United Kingdom. She currently lives and works in Hamilton, Ontario.
