aj jaeger – visionary artist biography As a German born Canadian, my heritage and travels are expressed in my work as a contemporary artist. My artwork is exhibited in private collections in Europe, the Bahamas, USA and Canada. As a graduate of the University of British Columbia-Okanagan, having completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2013, I am also the past Chairperson of the Board of the Caetani Cultural Centre Society in Vernon, BC. As a sculptor and painter, I am inspired by rich colours and distinctive textures that tell a meaningful story. I am a passionate advocate in the local art community, teaching mixed media, working with collage in inventive, creative ways in my workshops, and designing successful art exhibitions. statement I believe that art is visual storytelling, communicating a needed message, showcasing beliefs, heritage and vision. My work has deliberately evolved to depict the complexity and contrast of life through a combination of mediums, symbolism and surface patterns. I am inspired by creating poignant works of art, that catch the attention of people distracted by everyday life, as a rally-cry to remind us all to focus on what matters most. Intuitively acknowledging the uncertainty of life, fuels my creative mind and heart to keep expressing unedited emotions that positively transform our collective future. |
