Jennifer Vranes is more than a landscape artist—she’s a visual storyteller of nature’s most uplifting moments. Known for her bold use of color, thick impasto textures, and large-scale floral and forest scenes, Vranes has become one of the most recognizable names in contemporary nature-inspired art. Her work brings the outside in, turning any room into a sanctuary of beauty and tranquility.
From lavender fields to aspen forests, her paintings capture the joy and serenity of the natural world with a style that is at once energetic and peaceful. In this blog, we dive deep into her artistic journey, technique, and why collectors—from first-time buyers to seasoned investors—are turning to Royal Street Fine Art to bring Jennifer Vranes’ art into their homes.
Jennifer Vranes grew up surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the American West. Her deep connection with the outdoors began in childhood and has fueled her creative vision ever since. A graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in Fine Art, Vranes has made painting her lifelong passion.
Inspired by her travels through Europe and across the U.S., her work channels the essence of the landscapes she experiences firsthand—be it the lavender fields of Provence, the rolling hills of Tuscany, or the golden aspens of Colorado.
She works primarily with palette knives, layering paint so thick it jumps off the canvas. The technique isn’t just visual—it’s visceral. Her paintings invite viewers to experience nature not just with their eyes, but with their entire body.
Vranes is known for her expert use of the palette knife, a technique that involves applying thick layers of paint to create texture and depth. The result is a uniquely tactile surface that interacts with light in dynamic ways.
Unlike traditional brushwork, her knife technique gives the art a physical presence. Trees seem to sway. Blossoms seem to bloom right in front of you. Sky and sunlight feel within reach.
Her style is often described as “contemporary impressionism” due to her focus on light, texture, and color over realism. Yet the emotions and memories her works evoke are undeniably real.
Her paintings often revolve around a few recurring themes:
Each theme is rendered in a way that evokes both familiarity and discovery. No two forests are alike, and each flower field tells a different story.

She often works on multiple pieces simultaneously, using reference photos and plein air studies to guide composition and color. Her studio is a burst of color and texture, with canvases ranging from small formats to large multi-panel works.
Vranes is also a prolific artist. Her passion and discipline allow her to create a steady stream of original works, each infused with energy and joy.
Travel plays a central role in Jennifer Vranes’ artistic life. She takes annual trips to destinations like France, Italy, and the Rocky Mountains to study light, terrain, and seasonal color.
