Artist Jennifer Humphreys

“I am influenced by various styles, including expressionism, surrealism, and abstract art…I understand the challenges and triumphs of navigating the art world with a disability. As a participant in the Connecting Artists. I want to enhance my artist portfolio and connect with inspiring individuals. My goal is to encourage people with disabilities to pursue their dreams and careers.”

​I am a visual artist based in Blackrock, Cork, with a 12-year creative journey. My work is driven by storytelling, a love for bold artistic styles, and a passion for making the art world more inclusive.

​My Artistic Path

​My love for art started in childhood, watching my father draft designs for his work. After years of formal training, I found my own creative voice.

​Six years ago, I experienced hearing loss. This challenge changed my perspective and inspired me to become an advocate for artists with disabilities. I want to show others that no matter the challenges you face, your creative dreams are worth pursuing.

​My Style/Work

​I love experimenting with texture and layers. My work is influenced by Post-Impressionism, Surrealism, and abstract art.

​Paint & Drawing: I use acrylics, charcoal, pastels, and ink.

​Mixed Media: I create unique collages using found materials from books and magazines, often adding layers of texture with coffee and tea stains.

​Handmade Crafts: I run a small business designing sustainable, repurposed bookmarks.
