2010 Featured Artist George Jennings

George Jennings is a local Seattle area artist who began his interest in art in his hometown of Washington, D.C. under the tutelage of his grandfather, accomplished Washington, D.C. artist, John N. Robinson during the 1970's. George attended high school at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts and upon graduation, continued to hone his artistic abilities through several years of self-training. In the late 1990’s, George moved with his wife to Seattle, Washington where he continued to pursue his interest in art as a career.

In 2004, his work was displayed twice at the Crispinal Art Gallery in Seattle (Belltown,) Washington and in a private three day solo showing at The Red Lion Hotel in downtown Seattle. In 2008, his portrait painting named Seattle was accepted into the juried gallery of the Edmonds Art Festival. In spring 2009, he was once again accepted into the Edmonds Art Festival's juried gallery with a portrait painting named Jade Dress. In the summer of 2009, he participated in the Renton, Washington Art and Antique Walk and in The 5th Annual Northwest African American Fine Arts Exhibition at the Art Not Terminal gallery in Seattle, Washington, where two of his paintings "Ballerina" and "My Braids" were displayed.

George works in various mediums; primarily acrylic, oil and colored pencils. Currently, he is working on several new series.
