I live in a small house in Connecticut, sandwiched between woods on 2 sides, a river and I-95. Here I create paintings, maps, landscapes and collages. All aspects of the Natural World interest me.
I was born in the UK, and attended University there but it wasn’t until I moved to Japan in 1980 that I really began painting and drawing seriously.
During a five-year residency in Tokyo in the 1990s, I studied traditional Japanese painting and I try to incorporate the highly decorative Japanese approach to nature in my own work. Japan still remains a very strong influence and I have been back many times.
I am drawn to anything with pattern and color.
I live and teach in Greenwich, Connecticut. For a up to date view of my artwork please also follow me on instagram, at hazeljarvisstudio.
