Jenny's work is an exploration of Liverpool as we approach the Capital of Culture – an endeavour to capture and represent its iconic architecture and landmarks as well as its energy and modernity. Jenny says “being born in Liverpool and having grown up in the city it is important to me to find new ways of looking at, and depicting, the familiar”
Her images are very contemporary using montage, combining layered images; photographs, silk screen prints, stencils, paintings and sketches all scanned in Photoshop and digitally developed.

Liver Bird - Limited Edition Print (250)
|
| Legend has it that the Liver Bird was a mythical bird that once haunted the Liverpool shoreline. According to popular legend, they were a male and female pair, the female looking out to sea (watching for seamen to return home safely) whilst the male looks toward the city (making sure the pubs are open). Popular legend also has it that the birds face away from each other, if they should mate and fly away then the city would cease to exist. |

Two Cathedrals - Limited Edition Print (250)
|
| The two cathedrals dominate Liverpool’s skyline representing the Anglican and Roman Catholic faiths in the city. Appropriately both are joined by Hope Street. The Cathedrals were dubbed paddy’s wigwam and the gothic pile (Dracula’s castle was another).
The Lyrics of a famous folk song refer to both Cathedrals and the Epstein Sculpture.
“In my Liverpool Home we speak with an accent exceedingly rare,
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare.
And if you want a Cathedral we’ve got one to spare”
