Jennifer Ochs’ artwork featured in LA exhibit
“Celebrated Moments” is the debut of Jennifer Rae Ochs’ most recent abstract expressionist work that will be featured at M.J. Higgins fine art and furnishings in Los Angeles.
Starting September 15 and running through October 13, a variety of Ochs’ work will be available to view and for purchase.
Ochs, a Forest Lake native, trained as a classic pianist and honed her craft in art through a continuing association with an eclectic group of fellow artists, encompassing a variety of styles and creative media.
With a well-stamped passport, Ochs approaches painting as she does traveling; venturing forth courageously with an open mind and spirit, always seizing each opportunity to immerse herself in new experiences and to live them to the fullest, coming to the canvas inspired to express the mysterious findings in her soul.
The power of Ochs’ work transcends craft or technique. Each painting connects heart and soul to the core of being, suspending the viewer in kind of timeless, captivation resonance.
“Jennifer Rae Ochs is an extraordinary talent,” said Higgins. “I truly value where she comes from in her life and in her work. The freedom of her spirit is inspiring and the authenticity of her expression is refreshing and uplifting. Her work in imbued with these qualities, through the layers of energy and excitement that she consistently brings to her vibrant expressions. I am very excited to be hosting this exhibit, one that promises to captivate everyone who comes to experience it.”
Ochs is equally excited to be featured at Higgins gallery.
“To me, Martha is an inspiring example of a woman who embraces and lives her love of art in a very generous way,” said Ochs. “I’m excited and honored to be exhibiting in her amazing gallery space in the midst of historic downtown LA, on Gallery Row. The gallery is beautiful and fun accessible...she’s created a perfect space.”
Ochs has previously shown her artwork at galleries in Orange County, Culver City, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and at the Sejong Center in Seoul, Korea.
Her career has continuously expanded as many of her collectors who started with a single piece have been consistently adding others.
“It’s wonderful to have this momentum in my career,” said Ochs. “When I create, it’s purely a connection with energy, unity and the harmony of color. Sales are a separate and wonderful part of the greater picture for me, but, of course, it’s very affirming. Definitely. It gives me an even greater sense of freedom and peace to approach that creative environment...to make the time and the space to dive into the process.”
