The annual Royal Academy Summer Exhibition is a celebration of living artists, with art by members of the public and famous artists hanging side-by-side. This year I was lucky enough to have a painting selected for inclusion in the show. What a great experience.

Art is very personal. We each respond differently to different work. And because art is not just decorative, it’s personal in the way we choose to display it, to live with it and to buy it. This might make you question whether it’s a good idea to buy art online. Surely you need to see the work in person first to really get a sense of it?

Jenni is in the third year of a fine art degree at University Centre, Somerset, and produces bold, exciting pieces that examine and defy stereotypes about women. I find her output enormously expressive and powerful.
