Jenny Topfer Art for Sale and Sold Prices

Biography

In 2002, Jenny Topfer left a corporate role in Sydney to pursue a full-time career as an artist in Tasmania. She works from her studio ‘Cloudstone’, 30 minutes North of Hobart.

Jenny’s work is made in response to the textures of the places we inhabit, focusing on the process of making using surface and line. The history of the paintings is evident in the build-up of marks and layers. They track the passage of time, and the process of coming into their own being, creating a connection between the artist and the viewer.

Jenny exhibits regularly in Hobart and Sydney and her work is included in various group shows and competitions. She has twice been a finalist in the Glover Prize (2007 and 2009) and her work was highly commended in the 2008 Tasmanian Art Prize, Burnie.
