About The Artist

My Story

Ever since I was young, I’ve known there is more to life than what we see.

That there is an objective truth hidden in nature. We can all perceive it regardless of religious background, and it has been experienced across cultures throughout generations. We may call it different names, but it is the truth that is God, reflected back to us in the natural world. 

As I’ve grown deeper in my Catholic faith, I’ve been able to better understand this truth and to know that I will never fully understand it. Painting has become a natural way for me to express what I’ve learned and what I am still trying to learn.

I don’t paint for the sake of art or beauty; I paint to help me understand these reflections of God

Bio

Jen Dufau (née Lange; b. 1995) is an American artist creating symbolism paintings that transform nature scenes into meditations on the spiritual aspects of life. Heavily influenced by her Catholic faith, she pursued art as a way of contemplating the objective truth of this world. Jen’s paintings primarily focus on the theme of seeing divine wisdom reflected in nature. 

Her unique artistic style evolved through years of independent study using oils and acrylics with a focus on painting nature scenes. 

Jen currently pursues independent avenues for showcasing her paintings with collectors throughout the American Midwest and internationally. Her work can primarily be seen at local art fairs near her home in Cincinnati, OH, on social media, and through her website.

Jen is married with a son and pet corgi. When she isn’t painting, she enjoys spending time in nature, where she gets most of the inspiration for her paintings.
