Artist BIo

Jennilyn Edgley, a local artist from North Salt Lake, has showcased her artwork in various venues, including galleries, restaurants, libraries, bookstores, and currently the James E. Talmage Building at Brigham Young University.

While Jennilyn is passionate about painting portraits and the human figure, she is best known for her unique ability to achieve what many artists find challenging: painting with a palette knife. She finds joy and freedom in painting boldly with a simple knife and layers of colorful paint. Surrounded by rich, colorful paint and the rugged, raw downtown feel, she creates paintings that capture the same earthy qualities, infused with depth, beauty, and awe.
