Artist Jenny M Mathews

Jenny M Mathews is a visual artist from Rockford, IL, specializing in tiny watercolor illustrations and big acrylic murals. From science text books to hype basketball courts, her prolific style allows her to obsess and work on both extensive series of small things and large scale singular pieces. Her large work has been on display at the Rockford Art Museum and can currently be seen at the Discovery Center of Rockford and the Freeport Public Library.

“Art is a gift to the community, that marks our shared human experience. It is a language of love.” -Jenny Mathews
