Jason Patrick Jenkins
Jason Patrick Jenkins is a highly-skilled painter and instructor at Abington Art Center, having earned his BFA Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2001 and having received additional study from the Advanced Fine Art Program of Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia.
Trained in several painting techniques such as alla prima painting and the dutch method, Jenkins’ oil paintings exude a life-like quality while maintaining a painterly style.
The rich color, dynamic compositions, and purposeful mark-making that is present throughout his artwork demonstrate technical skill, as well as a deep understanding of classical realism.
Thomas Murray
Artist and Abington Art Center member, Thomas Murray, earned his BS in Fine Art and BS in Art Education from the University of South Florida in 1996, and his MFA from the University of New Mexico in 2003.
Murray’s work is impressionistic, using bold brushwork and texture throughout his compositions. He maintains a studio practice in New Jersey, creating oil paintings that draw from archetypal imagery as a way exploring “the relations of globalization,… [the] subtle critique of the viewer/consumer, and our place in relocating histories.”
