Jennifer Perry

I am Jennifer Perry, and I have lived a very interesting life, filled with experiences.
I have lived joy and I have lived pain. I have lived with anger and I have loved deeply. Some of what I have experienced has been wonderful and life changing. Some of the experiences have been a baptism by fire but they all taught me some basic truths. I now know for certain that any life lived with passion, with a thirst for knowledge and with a talent for survival is worth living and the person living it is worth knowing.
I know that the whole truth involves the human spirit and is about the incredible soul that lives inside each one of us.
In my work, I paint about that soul....that core part of ourselves that feels the pain, that learns from our mistakes but isn't measured by them. I explore what it means to be human. What it means to hurt and to heal. What it means to celebrate and to triumph. What it means to be gloriously flawed and beautiful.
In my paintings, I tell your stories and mine. For these stories unite us as human beings. These inner tales join us together to tell a larger story, which is the story of humanity.
We are all connected. Together we lift each other up, we help each other survive and we search for the joy that will make us whole again.

Toyland, toyland
Little girl and boy land
When you dwell within it
You are ever happy there!
Childhood toyland
Mystical merry toyland
Once you pass it's borders
You can never return again!!!!!!

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough...

I’m from the land where you still hear the cries
I had to get out, had to sever all ties
I changed my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch

Hugo the Abominable Snowman (holding Daffy, whose shirt makes him look like a rabbit): ''Oh, what a cute little pink bunny rabbit!
(cradling Daffy) Just what I always wanted. My own little bunny rabbit. I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him''...
Daffy Duck: ''I'm not a bunny rabbit''...
Hugo the Abominable Snowman: ''...and pat him and pet him and''...
Daffy Duck: ''You're hurting me. Put me down, please.''
Hugo the Abominable Snowman: ...''and rub him and caress him and''...
