Jenny Scobel was born in 1955 in Ohio and now lives and works in New York City. Scobel paints female portraits in monotone shades with hints of color and graphic, often decorative backgrounds. These portraits are reminiscent of old family photographs, personal moments captured in time, layered with haunting mystery.
