The Immediacy Of Now

Join us for an art exhibition taking place at Keller Street CoWork.
Jennifer Mygatt Tatum is a Sonoma County-based visual artist whose work explores the insights gained through time in nature, aligning individuals with their innate inner wisdom. She is best known for her Wandering Women motif, expressed through metal, paint, print, and mosaic, as well as her deep engagement with Mokulito printmaking.
In 2023, she embarked on a 30-day self-driven retreat in Denmark, creating her Essence of Place series—large graphite works reflecting the balance of discipline and gesture. Following this, she explored the charred landscapes of the Caldor Fire, transforming burnt bark into paint and Mokulito prints, capturing themes of resilience and renewal. In this new work being presented at Keller Cowork , the old growth redwood forest rises like a cathedral—an ancient witness to the shifting truths of our time. At its heart stands a woman, clothed only in her bathing suit, her pale, translucent skin revealing the forest within her. She is both a whisper and a warning—a fragile apparition embodying the permeability between humanity and nature.
Her presence speaks to our current condition: teething, raw, and tender in our relationship with the Earth. We are not separate from this landscape but are being asked—urgently, quietly—to listen. She stands as a sentinel of vulnerability, transparency, and deep reckoning. The forest, centuries older than memory, holds the wisdom of endurance, while she holds the delicate immediacy of now.
This work is a meditation on the tipping points we inhabit—between action and apathy, awareness and ignorance, destruction and regeneration. It invites a breath’s pause. A reminder of the simplicity of existence and the gravity of our role in shaping what comes next.
Jennifer's multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, printmaking, painting, mosaics, and large-scale public art, with materials like wood, wire, clay, glass, and ink informing and evolving her creative process
