TRANSCRIPT
Jennifer Baird (also known as Jenny Hilton-Clarke), was born in England but has lived for over 30 years
on the tiny unspoilt island of Tobago, in the West
Indies, where she resides as a recluse, high in the
wild and remote rain forest - painting and meditating and living an extremely simple life without electricity, plumbing or mod cons.
Jennifer has been painting all her life and has exhibited many times in Trinidad
and Tobago and produced a diverse array of works over the last 30 years,
ranging from the scenic to the deeply mystical and visionary.

The dream
The influence of many cultures, mythologies, philosophies and metaphysical ideas can be seen weaving a continuum through her work; exploring themes, patterns and focii as they evolve through her inner and outer worlds.
But most important and influential are the direct experiences and insights which arise from living primitively and alone in wild and completely natural surroundings, spending many hours in meditation and spiritual practice.
She has been a vajrayana buddhist since the early seventies. Jennifer's paintings have a natural alchemy that conjures strong atmosphere.
They contain a power, a magic within themselves which flows into the viewer. They are unimpeded expressions; free-flowing manifestations of wonder and wakefullness.
A pictoral language which holds together the strands of meaning, symbol and feeling.
