By Artist Jennifer Awad

My artistic journey began at a young age and was shaped by three significant factors. First, I was surrounded by family members who were involved in various creative professions, including art, business, and human rights advocacy. These amazing individuals provided a constant source of inspiration and influence throughout my artistic development.

My exposure to different cultures and perspectives through world travels  was  my second inspirational source and played a crucial role in shaping my artistic viewpoint. These wonderful immersive experiences offered me glimpses into the beauty and challenges of cultural diversity, which inspired many of my art pieces.

My unique art-based education was the third influential factor of my artistic journey and played a vital role in laying the groundwork for my creative development, artistic style, and voice. This educational foundation provided me with the necessary tools and techniques to creatively articulate observations  I had of the joys and hardships of the human experience.

These rich sources of inspiration—my family, global travels, and art-based education—have profoundly impacted my artistic journey.  Through creative expression, I  invite viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of our shared existence, encourage empathy and understanding, aiming to spark dialogue, evoke emotions, and inspire viewers.

Through my exploration of various mediums and artistic styles, I discovered a profound affinity for the captivating realm of abstract art. Embracing this expressive form, I created unique compositions that embody my contemporary abstract style. My primary focus lies in skillfully capturing the essence of my clients' stories, inspirations, and/or cherished moments, transforming them into works of art that resonate deeply as enduring testaments, wherever they are displayed!

In 2005, my artistic career took off, driven by my passion for this transformative process. This journey also marked the beginning of my contribution to advocacy through art, as I started collaborating with an array of incredible human rights and non-profit organizations, grassroots movements, community outreach programs, and educational platforms. These collaborations opened new avenues for me to use the voice of art as a powerful channel of communication for awareness, education, inspiration and action. 

As my partnerships multiplied, my contributions expanded beyond the studio. I began speaking at art talks, painting live at public and private events, participating in community projects, and facilitating art workshops. Doors then opened to display my artwork  in both individual and group exhibitions across North America, and more recently, Europe!

I am extremely grateful and humbled by the amazing opportunities and recognition I have received, and look forward to continuing this creative journey with an unwavering commitment to authentic artistic expression, and meaningful artistry.
