Jenny Chi is inspired by the Old Masters of the Renaissance era. Chi begins her paintings by first sketching figures to work out the images in her mind. Inspired by classical mythology and the human figure, Jenny paints and draws in a style reminiscent of the old masters, conducting a personal, sometimes rather sly dialogue with the Italian Renaissance in particular. A native of Taiwan, Jenny Chi received her MFA from the School of Figurative Art of the New York Academy of Art and has studied at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. As an Assistant Professor in the Art Department of Eastern Illinois University, she teaches courses in painting, drawing and the Old Masters.
