Geraldine (Gerry) Jenkison majored in English Literature at the University of Toronto, but a passion for making art took her in a different direction. With a keen interest in plants, in the 1990s she studied botanical illustration and pursued this exacting genre for several decades. In the early 2010s, her work took a new direction, rejecting precision and detail in favour of a more subjective and painterly view of the natural world. Her best-known body of work is her series of sixty small landscapes based on the County’s Millennium Trail, exhibited in 2019. She paints in a number of styles, most recently contemporary abstraction. She’s exhibited regularly in Prince Edward County.
