Jennifer Hatters (b. 1966 Seattle, Washington) is a painter and photographer. Her paintings involve a process of layering paint with a texturing compound over and over before allowing them to dry enough to then begin sanding and scraping away at the layers in order to reveal the colors beneath. The final two layers are made up of charcoal and a high gloss finish. “I love the contrast between random and controlled, between faded, layered background and strong, bold, black lines. Most of all I just like making art I think is beautiful and fun.”
