Colourful Pixie

In the absence of words, emotions exist. In Jenna Hopkins’ world, emotions are almost miraculously expressed through colours, depth and lines to tell stories of beauty and life. This Fernhurst resident and owner of Colourful Pixie isn’t afraid to do things her own way, take on new challenges, create stunning custom paintings and share her love of art with everyone around her.

“Artists have an integral role in society in which they have the ability to inspire others, create something beautiful and have a huge voice without using words,” said Jenna.

Scroll through Jenna’s website – and you’ll notice two things: None of her pieces are ever quite the same, and all of them utilise vibrant colours and textures that make them wonderful in their own ways. Her work, self-described as “contemporary abstract, colourful and bright,” is made with acrylic paints, fluid acrylic mediums and gold/silver leaf.

Unlike most painters who work solo, Jenna specialises in designing custom artwork for clients. “I thrive by connecting with people in their homes and painting a meaningful piece for them, which sets me apart from other artists,” Jenna explains. “I incorporate my abstract style with the colour combinations to match someone’s home décor, at a size that’s perfect for their space. To me, it means more to know the artists and their processes, rather than just purchasing a print of art in a retail store.”
