“The work of Jennifer Keeler-Milne focuses on the beauty of nature in its many forms as she transforms blossoms, plants, clouds and marine life into objects of desire. The natural world has engaged and provided source material for the artist through direct observation however it’s not merely about recording what is seen, it’s about creating and sharing the experience of what she feels in the works.” – Jane Watters

“The English Romantic poet Keats once said that ‘beauty is truth and truth is beauty’ and the works of Jennifer Keeler-Milne embody this with sensitivity and sophistication that give her work an aesthetic dimension in which even the most commonplace transcends into an image of great beauty.” – Jane Watters
