Jeanie Keys describes herself as , "an intrepid seeker of the inner world" and the imagery in her work springs from this exploration of the subconscious. It's the process, often revealed through dreams, which uncovers those emotional experiences hidden from everyday perception. "I try to understand what it is to be alive... to feel... to question... to observe... and to translate this intangible sense through my work." The subjects Keys chooses to represent show their "inner nature", expressed through her subjective mood , rather than referencing the external world . Particularly in her most recent work , they become independent of naturalistic colors and shapes, conveying sensation before likeness. Each work will be Untitled in order to leave the viewer free to interpret it independent of the artist.
