Jenny Berry is a contemporary impressionist painter known for her loose, expressive brushwork and her ability to capture light, mood, and atmosphere in a fresh, modern way. Her paintings have found homes with collectors around the world and have appeared in magazines, television, commercials, and film.

​

Jenny has been creating art for as long as she can remember. She was accepted into art school at just 15, but the focus on abstract and conceptual work at the time didn’t align with her love of representational art. Determined to build a strong foundation, she pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in figure drawing and graphic design at Eastern Michigan University, where she immersed herself in studying form, anatomy, and composition through many hours spent in the life drawing studio.

​

Before becoming a full-time artist, Jenny spent years as an art director and copywriter in advertising. That experience sharpened her eye for storytelling and design, but it was the resurgence of traditional realism in New York City galleries that truly reignited her passion. In 2004, she made the leap—leaving her job to dedicate her time to painting.

​

Today, Jenny creates work that blends traditional skills with a contemporary, painterly touch. Her pieces are recognized for their vibrant color, thoughtful mark-making, and the emotional sense of place they evoke. Whether she’s capturing quiet landscapes, expressive florals, or everyday moments in glowing light, her goal is always the same: to create art that feels alive, approachable, and deeply human.
