Jennifer working in her studio

Jennifer Fearon is a visual artist based in Marin County, California. Her work explores perception, material transformation, and the shifting relationship between abstraction and landscape through the use of mineral pigments, oxidized metals, natural dyes, and handmade surfaces.

Influenced by traditional Japanese mineral pigment painting techniques, Fearon creates layered works that emerge through accumulation, erosion, reflection, and oxidation. Many of her materials are derived from locally gathered shells, rocks, and soils, deepening her engagement with place and ecological systems.

Fearon has exhibited at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Arts Benicia, Palo Alto Art Center, Sebastopol Center for the Arts, O’Hanlon Center for the Arts, Santa Cruz Art League, and Lipscomb University Gallery. Her work has appeared in Still Point Arts Quarterly, and she has participated in residencies at Kala Art Institute, Chalk Hill Artist Residency, and Vermont Studio Center.
