The western landscape is defined by huge skies, expanse reaching all the way to the horizon, and light that can take one’s breath away. Jenny Glenn Wuerker’s large-scale paintings envelop the viewer, making them an active participant in what it feels like to stand out on the open plains. The serene beauty of these open spaces holds a powerful stillness that penetrates through the distraction of stressful activity, a beauty that demands pause. These images are iconic of the West.
