Jenny Tancock

Biography

I recently retired from a long career in the Arts & Cultural Sector. My last job was 15 years as a project manager and lecturer in a University faculty of art & design. Alongside that, for many years, I taught mixed media drawing and painting to a variety of people & groups - as well as working in the arts in health and community sectors. I first graduated with a BA (Honours) Visual Arts degree in 1996 and went on to gain my Masters in Fine Art in 2011​ I have been a practicing artist for well over 40 years! I have spent many, many hours drawing from life - taking inspiration from the world and the people around me. Now my time is spent doing pet portraits, people portraits and landscape commissions - and I couldn't be happier! I love everything about art and I enjoy experimenting with various media like pastels, watercolour, acrylics and oils. I'm simply passionate about creating paintings for people to cherish & enjoy - for me there is nothing more rewarding!
