Jennifer Hogwood

Jennifer Hogwood marks the New Year with a lovely new release ❤️ 'Love You To The Moo-N And Back', a beautiful new limited edition for St Valentine's Day 2021; something about these smaller images of 'McMoo' cows, in their lovely white frames, that really connect with art buyers and you! - 18th January 2021

28th August 2020 and we have a trio of lovely new Jennifer Hogwood Originals for sale: 'Moo In The Sunset Meadow,' 'Daisy Love II' & 'Bee-utiful Summer' all featuring her 'Mcmoo' highland cows, some with bumble bees and all impossibly cute with gorgeous colours! Is it time to treat yourself?

August 2020 and there was a tremendous response to Jennifer's Summer releases: the two prints and two bronzes, the latter being welcome 'McMoo' (or should I say New!) additions to her bestselling Bronze Sculpture Series.

7th July 2020 is launch day for the New Summer Collection and Jennifer has spoiled you with 'Flora McMoo - Framed' & 'Finlay McMoo - Framed,' sister 'paired' limited editions prints and their accompanying bronze sculptures (suprisingly titled!) 'Flora McMoo - Bronze' and 'Finlay McMoo - Bronze.' This is the first time Hogwood has released matching named prints and sculptures at the same time, and two to boot!

July 2020 will see four new editions to the Jennifer Hogwood limited edition range, including prints and sculptures - we are getting excited!

The 15th of November 2019, saw the unveiling of Jennifer's four New Releases and we are delighted they did include her trademark McHoppers (Hares), McMoos (Cows) and of course new Bronze sculpture!

November 2019 will see the release of New Hogwood limited editions and we are hoping they will include more Bronze sculptures, fingers crossed!

Jennifer releases four fantastic new limited editions for April 2019, three hares (which she lovingly called McHoppers) and one of highland cows...what else!

New for September 2013 Jennifer Hogwood becomes a published artist in the UK. Jennifer is a curious artist with many interesting facets about herself, her upbringing and indeed her painting style.

Much like other naive artists such as Peter Smith and his 'Impossimals,' Hogwood has named her cow characters 'McMoos' and one could almost image a young child's first attempt at saying 'cow' would come out similar!

Her first appearance or 'Tour' of galleries began in 2014 & into 2015, and we were one of just a handful of galleries to sell her very first Tour Releases - nine zany and hilarious cows art in various fun and frolics!

20th October 2015 sees Jennifer's Autumn Releases, celebrating two years as a published artist with Demontfort Fine Art, with the quick addition in November of the limited edition: Irn Moo (2015), her zany take on the classic fizzy drink Iron-Bru. combining her McMoo character with Scotland's favourite fizzy pop!

Jennifer debuted in the published art world in 2013, with a collection of four limited editions prints - three framed on board (in what would become her signature white frame) and one box canvas edition called: 'Soulmates' and of course all featured her loveable highland 'McMoo' cows.

Born in one of the home counties: Bedfordshire, she grew up with a love & respect for nature & a passion for horse riding meant she spent many hours outdoors. Interestingly, although Jennifer has always enjoyed art and painting, she is a completely self-taught (as are other wildlife artists e.g. the late David Shepherd & 'Dean Martin - The Mad Artist') & has her own particular way of creating each new artwork.

She will start with pencil to sketch and create the artwork and continue to 'build up' the picture detail; once she is happy, only then will she begin to put paint to canvas. Then. layering the paint on in stages and literally building up the colour palate through this method, adding specific colours to try and make each original unique.

Jennifer has also formulated her own particular brown colour which she will use with every original and from this base paint she will blend with other colours before applying - the trick being she knows through experience exactly the finished colour she will create when 'her' brown is mixed with other colours.

Other interesting facts about her style: she actually starts her painting from the animal's nose and then moves outwards in imaginary circles, her animals are given small jewels as eyes and lastly the final stage is to add splashes of white to the picture to almost bring light & life to them.

Today, Jennifer lives in the countryside of Wiltshire and if she needed to show her love of cows anymore, she works inside a converted milking shed on an active farm...surrounded by cows! Jennifer likes being around the various farm animals & livestock and not only does it give her artistic inspiration but she finds it tremendously relaxing and no doubt reminds her of her childhood.
