About & CV
Scottish artist/illustrator Jenny Soep uses her specialised style to make spontaneous drawings of novel events,
using a style that captures the emotion and energy. Providing a whole new approach to documenting the
experience, Jenny draws on location while the events unfold in front of, beside and all round her. The images
she creates are dynamic, alive and vivify the ambience whilst evoking a true sense of the event.
The live event influences each drawing created at the time ensuring each image is completely unique.
Jenny's images have been used in various editorials, books, websites, blogs, promotional material and exhibitions.
She was also featured on the first Janice Forsyth show of this year where the pictures are still available to view on
Janice's web page.
Jenny has her MA in Illustration: Authorial Practice, and Honours degree in Illustration and Printmaking. She studied
4 years in Dundee, then travelled, worked and created art in and around Taiwan for 3
years. While there she organised a free music, poetry and art exhibition. Jenny
is intent on creating more of these back here - creating 'Ceilidh/Open Mic' type
performances in venues where art can also be seen and created. The events
would in turn promote the venue, the artists, and arts in Scotland.
Jenny’s drawings can be enjoyed as original works of art or used in gig reviews, cd covers, stage sets, promotional
material, merchandise etc. Prints of Jenny's work are available for sale from £18, as well as originals.
