Jenifer Prince
FEATURED WORK
Jenifer Higginbotham Prince grew up on the beach surfing, sailing and diving.
Her family encouraged her artistic talent, and she received training in art and painting at Santa Monica City College and UCLA. In 1978 she moved to Kauai for further inspiration and to surf. Her intense love of Hawaii's landscapes and seascapes inspired her to put these images to canvas. Jenifer paints outside in the impressionist plein air style. Her paintings are filled with expressive color and light, catching fleeting moments in time. She has participated in juried and solo art shows in Hawaii and California. Commercial art projects include Kauai Marriot Hotel, Kauai Marriot Beach Club, Princeville Ranch Stables, Yoga Hanalei, Ching Young Village Hanalei. She has completed several murals for private estates and businesses. Her oil paintings and plein air art can be found in collections worldwide.
I paint outside because I want to capture the light in a particular moment… a moment that has captured me somehow with its beauty. I am trying to express my joy, my awe, my love for what I am painting… and each time I go out to paint I discover something new. Painting is a way to slow down and really observe nature…to really see it fully and then to try and express what you are seeing on canvas. What could be better than painting outside in all the beautiful places of the world?
