Over the coming months the Englewood Courtyard Sales Team is proudly presenting some of the best local Chilliwack and Fraser Valley artwork and talent. The Chilliwack area is privileged to be home to so much artistic talent. In the months of July and August we are excited to be showcasing the works of photographer Mr. Josh Jenkins. We invite our many Englewood Courtyard guests to stop by to view his wonderful photography.
Here is a short Bio from Josh on his works and his passion;
“I was born in the Fraser Valley and after spending my younger years around western Canada, and in far off exotic places like India, Hawaii and Fiji. I find myself back in the Fraser Valley pursuing my dream. I was first introduced to photography by my father, who had dabbled in it while travelling. He taught me a lot and we learned together over the years. He has been a great source of encouragement in all my undertakings. My creativity was developed further through my mother, who has been a lifelong inspiration with her artistic spirit and talent in oil painting. Much of my business has been developed with her knowledge and support, and it’s wonderful to come full circle and be working with her on collections now.
I am mainly self taught in my photography, always preferring to learn on my own. I have, on the other hand, been schooled in computer arts and design, which have given me a passion for line, color, texture and composition. It also helped me gain the knowledge I need for digital imaging and editing, which has become an important part of the process I use to bring you the best final product I can. I continue to learn, and will never stop.
My passion for capturing beautiful sights with my camera has taken me to many places. Such as; Thailand & Cambodia, much of Europe, Cuba, other parts of the Caribbean, all over Western Canada and much of the US…Including, Hawaii, California, Arizona, many of the Northern Stats, and all over New York and New Jersey. I will continue to travel regularly, but will keep returning home to offer you a brief vision of the amazing things I have been fortunate enough to see.
Adventurousness, creativity, wisdom, and always keeping my eyes open to new things have brought me to where I am now with my photography. I see beauty in everything, and I strive to portray that to you in my images.
Josh Jenkins
