Jennifer Hornyak (born 1940) is a Canadian artist known for her semi-figurative style. Early in her career her scenes of Montreal personalities were exhibited at the 1987 Paris World Exhibition. She is now recognized for her colourful and textured graphic still lifes. == Life and career == Jennifer Hornyak (Jennifer Lynne Hampton) was born in Grimsby, England. From 1956 to 1959, she attended the Grimsby School of Art. In 1961 she immigrated to Montreal, Canada. She continued her art studies at McGill University, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and at the Saidye Bronfman Centre where she first exhibited her paintings of Montreal scenes and personalities. Hornyak's first solo exhibitions were held in 1984 and 1985 at Galerie Claude Lafitte (Montreal). Praised by art reviewer André Martin for her gift of "anecdote",〔Martin André, ''Vie des Arts'', vol.30, 1985, p71.(Web )〕 Hornyak then participated in a group show at Place des Arts (Montreal) and held a solo exhibition at Nancy Poole's Studio (Toronto). In 1987, Hornyak was the sole Canadian to participate at the Paris World Exhibition at the invitation of her patron, Baroness Marie-Hélène de Rothschild.〔Théoret, Bernard, "Jennifer Hornyak: Une nouvelle figuration" ''Magazin'Art'' Montreal: 1994. 82.〕〔Robert, Guy "Jennifer Hornyak: Hornyak: Peindre l'éphémère unicité." ''Le collectionneur'' Hiver 1990-1. 16-20. Print.〕 Exhibiting her paintings alongside those by Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, and Kees van Dongen, increased recognition led to her participation in ''Feminissima'' at Galerie Artcurial (Paris) as the sole Canadian among artists from 35 countries,〔Aubrey, Bernoit, ":Hornyak: un marche en hausse constante" ''Le collectionneur'' Hiver 1990-1. 21. Print.〕 and at the Palais des Expositions (Nice).〔Galerie Claude Lafitte ''Hornyak, Art jonction international: Nice, Palais des expositions'', Montreal: (1988) ISBN 2980068551〕 The following year she exhibited at Donna Heuhhoff Gallery (Dallas), at Sandra Werther Fine Art (New York) in 1989, and held a solo show at Eleonore Austerer Gallery, San Francisco in 1991. Throughout this period, she honed her technique at the Vermont Studio Colony with Stanley Boxer, George McLean and Elmer Bischoff and with Elizabeth Lyons in Tuscany, Italy.〔Galerie De Bellefeuille, ''Jennifer Hornyak'' Montreal: 1994. 38. Print.〕 By 1991, Hornyak's work had been reviewed in the prestigious journals ''ARTnews'', ''Art Auction'', ''Art in America'', ''Beaux-Arts'' (France) and ''Mizue'' (China),〔 but continued to evolve. Increasingly introspective, in 1994 art reviewer Bernard Théoret noted that her "'appeal to the unconscious was impressionistic like an invitation to the garden of the soul".〔Théoret, Bernard, "Jennifer Hornyak: Une nouvelle figuration" ''Magazin'Art'' Montreal: 1994. 84. "Ses oevres ne sont plus descriptives et font appel a son inconscient et au notre pour créer une impression comme si en inviter ses jardins intérieur."〕 Flowers soon became her symbol of "universality" and dominant subject.〔Studio 21. () Web.〕 Influenced by the graphic still lifes of Giorgio Morandi,〔 her signature style, of "semi-figurative, almost abstract, works... built up through a complex technique of richly coloured glazes", was evident by 2003.〔Oeno Gallery. ("Jennifer Hornyak". ) ''Art and Design''. 28.〕〔Galerie de Bellefeuille, Jennifer Hornyak: Oeuvres récentes / Recent Work". Montreal: 2003. Print.〕 Since 2003 Hornyak has held over ten solo exhibitions in cities such as Ottawa〔Commerce du Marche By, ''Jennifer Hornyak Solo Exhibition 2011'', Ottawa, 2011, (Web )〕 and Halifax.〔Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, ''NSCAD Notes", 6 Sep 2012. (Web )〕 A participant in many group shows,〔ArtFacts (Jennifer Hornyak ) Web.〕 her paintings are exhibited alongside work by Jim Dine, Chuck Close, and Tom Hopkins in Montreal,〔Vanderstaay, Marilynn, ("Don't miss Galerie de Bellefeuille's holiday show" ) ''Orleans Star''. Ottawa: 15 Dec. 2009. Web.〕 and at Miami Art Basel, the Chicago Contemporary and Classic, and Toronto International Art Fair. In 2013, Hornyak exhibited across Canada at Wallace Galleries (Calgary), Trias Gallery (Toronto), Oeno Gallery (Kingston), Galerie St-Laurent + Hill (Ottawa), Galerie de Bellefeuille (Montreal), Studio 21 (Halifax) and Trinity Gallery (Saint John).

(Web. )〕 Hornyak has served on juries for the 2013 Women’s Art Society (Montreal), the 2011 OKWA Festival (Kingston, Ontario),〔Organization of Kingston Women Artists. “Kingston Public Library Exhibition 2011” () 16 Feb. 2011.

She has also held workshops in Eastern Canada at the Creativity Art Retreat (Dunedin, Ontario), at the Alelucia, L’Ecole d’Arts de l’Estrie (Magog, Quebec) and, at the Elephant Barn (Georgeville, Quebec).
