jenny bass, who is a multi disciplinary artist and musician, describes their work as "gateways into remembrance of plant ancestors, ritual, and the times when everyone knew the plants." jenny grew up herding cows on a large farm just South of Charlottesville, VA. All throughout their childhood they observed their mother in her painting studio. To get to the greenhouse, one had to walk through the studio.

jenny bass begins each painting with a deep, long-standing relationship with a plant. She chooses one whose story beckons, often a plant who she has used medicinally or ceremonially, and then she studies the details. Her years of passionate respect for botany and interest in Herbal Medicine speak through the paintings. The result is a shockingly detailed expression of reverence, an explosion of color, and a cascade of softness in petals.
