About

Jenny Kastner is a Canadian artist whose work explores landscapes as portals to deep, imagined relationships to place and the subconscious. With vibrant intensity, she pushes the contemporary landscape tradition into the realm of magical realism, using colour and movement and compositions with big pull. Kastner has been featured by internationally acclaimed arts and culture blogs, Booooooom, My Modern Met, and She-explores. She currently paints from her home studio where Clear Lake meets Stoney Lake, a dynamic biodiverse physical meeting place in Ontario where the granite rock of the Canadian Shield meets the limestone of the Lowlands, magically termed ‘The Land Between.’ She spends her winters living in Costa Rica, surfing and road tripping with her family, which inspires her work in a multitude of ways. Kastner holds a BA in Cultural Studies and a BEd from OISE in Arts Education. Her work is in private collections across Canada and the US, Barbados, Costa Rica, South Africa, Australia, France and the UK.
