. I live in a small house in Connecticut, sandwiched between woods on 2 sides, a river and I-95. Here I create paintings, drawings and maps, botanicals, abstract landscapes and mixed media 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 try to incorporate the highly decorative Japanese approach to nature in my own work. Much more recently, I have been visiting New Mexico and find myself very influenced by the patterns of the landscape and the Peoples who originally lived there.

I suppose I am drawn to everything with strong pattern and color as you can see.

I live and teach in Greenwich, Connecticut.  For a up to date view of my artwork please also follow me on instagram, at hazeljarvisstudio.
