Chloe Jayne Fenech - Collage Landscape Artist
Chloe Jayne Fenech is an English artist based in Malta, passionate about colour, landscape and texture. She uses acrylic paint, collage and pastels to create mixed media original artwork.
Chloe worked for many years as a content specialist in a fast-paced environment but she always sought escape in landscape painting, especially in rugged, dramatic locations like the Scottish Highlands or the valleys of west Wales where she travels regularly.
Chloe is drawn to the changing light, rich palette of colours and the textures within these often very different landscapes From gritty, dried bent grasses to open skies and gentle sloping hills, she loves watching the landscape interact with itself, and aims to capture its changing beauty. She also loves exploring her own history of the landscape, and the stories each place holds for her, whether far back in childhood, or more recently as she’s travelled as a mother and artist.
She often starts painting beautiful places inspired by her own photographs or memories of a favourite landscape, but then the painting becomes more abstracted and intuitive, expressing a unique feeling and intention. The use of fragments of ephemera and collage paper scraps adds layers of interest and texture within the layers of paint.
Chloe is also inspired by places further afield including the otherworldly lands at the bottom of the world in Patagonia, as well as the beautiful forested hills in Europe. She is drawn to oddly shaped trees, high horizon lines, birds and bold colour, among many other things.
Chloe Jayne Fenech has exhibited her handmade art in Malta and abroad and taken part in many local events and shows. Chloe’s original artwork have sold to collectors in the UK, USA, South Africa and Malta. She also teaches collage art classes and workshops. Always travelling with sketchbooks, Chloe looks for inspiration in nature as often as she can. Her favourite artists include Franz Marc, Joan Eardley and Claude Monet.

Life has many meanings. It is biology, it is the sacred force that defines our Earth, it is process, it is culture, it is interaction, it is wit, and it is ambition. It may be a personal question, or it can be a matter of abstract debate. The challenge to the artist is to express one of these aspects of life in a visually striking manner, or even to combine several aspects in one work. "Traces of Life" Juried Art Show - Illinois, USA.
