Jenvy Fox

Visual Art – Sacramento

Primarily self-taught, Jenvy Fox has been making art in a variety of incarnations since childhood. Rather than have the traditional lemonade stand, Jenvy sold intricate handmade friendship bracelets and beaded jewelry while still in grade school. Concurrently, her love for two-dimensional arts blossomed, passing through periods of mostly colored pencil drawings and finally residing in the realm of acrylics. While developing artistically, she also attended college, receiving a Master’s Degree in Liberal Arts, with a focus on Postmodern philosophy, as well as eastern philosophy and religion. In recent years, Jenvy has combined the essence of jewelry with the workability of acrylics to create a style of mixed media that is well suited for this new era of Postmodern art. Jenvy is influenced by a variety of Modern artists including Picasso, Dali, Pollock, and Mondrian and is inspired by Postmodern philosophy, contemporary technology, nature and unconventional beauty. To visually represent the intersections between her four main inspirations, Jenvy combines geometry, metal, organic shapes, and found objects. She seeks to represent the influences of technology, extravagance, and media on nature, conceptions of beauty, and Postmodern culture in general.
