Jenny Aitken ARSMA, a professional artist for over 25 years, graduated from UCW Aberystwyth in 1997 with a BA Joint Honours in Art & Art History.

Although living now in Derbyshire, on the edge of the beautiful lake district, she is fascinated by the sea and, due to her family roots in the county of Cornwall and the channel Islands, she aims to capture the movement, changing light and colours of the ocean there that she so loves.

A specialist in Contre Jour painting (directly against the light) Jenny has even published a book on the subject in March 2024 through Search Press entitled “Into the Light’.

She is especially inspired by the paintings of Sorolla, Sargent and Hopper, all of whom were experts at capturing light, and in 2023 Jenny was elected as a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists, winning the prestigious Baltic Exchange Award that year, too.
