About

Jenny’s love of Art began at a very early age. She studied Art and received degrees from Columbia College and The University of New Mexico. Her education continued in her twenties when she traded her car for a place in the late famed wildlife artist Libby Berry’s New Renaissance Academy. With these learned skills, she expanded her Art through travels in Europe, with many great museum visits including to the Musuem Ludwig in Cologne Germany where her mentor the late Dr. Reinhold Misselbeck was an Art curator. Many trips to the Print & Drawing Study Room at the Art Institute of Chicago inspired and educated. Her love and study of Maynard Dixon while attending University of New Mexico furthered her interests in the West.  Spending time with her Artist husband in the LA Art world where he was on the board of Art/LA in the early ‘90s, Jenny gained contemporary art experience.

Living on ranches in Southwest Colorado for over 25 years along with her travels have added to her love of the West. Jenny and her husband Greg’s “Ranch Families: Culture of America” exhibition in 2001 forwarded her interest in communicating this important heritage. Numerous exhibits at museums and galleries followed. She was honored to be invited to show her Art in The Coors Western Invitational and the Desert Caballeros Museum’s “Cowgirls With A Camera” Invitational.  Feature articles in respected publications followed (including Southwest Art, Cowboys & Indians magazine) have attested to her special eye. In addition, Jenny’s Art is included in many fine private and corporate art collections (including the Saks Fifth Avenue Houston Flagship Art Collection, The new Omni Hotel in Nashville where the Country Music Hall of Fame also resides, Residence at the Little Nell in Aspen).

With Jenny Gummersall’s experience, technical abilities, and enthusiasm she creates much for us all to enjoy with her Fine Art.
