“The Black Swamp”
By Jenny King – Archbold
Ceramics and copper installed on a wood base

Jenny’s home is near a swamp and she often sees herons and frogs around her property. She was inspired by the duality of their lives and the different struggles they face. Back in 2010, Parkview purchased a beautiful painting, “Rose & Peony” from Jenny, and this 2018 purchase shows how much her work has evolved!
