Jennifer works mostly in the Pacific Northwest, where both the landscape and the sky is large and colourful.&nbsp; This is reflected in her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenniferwilliamsfineart.com\/Jennifer%20Williams%20portfolio.htm\">portfolio of work<\/a>, which resonates strongly through its depictions of the landscape of hazards.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"more\"><\/a><br \/>I&#8217;d like to highlight here two pieces.&nbsp; First there is a painting called lahar, created as part of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenniferwilliamsfineart.com\/jennifer_williams_disturbance_and_resilience.htm\">portfolio encompassing the natural regeneration of the Mount St Helens area<\/a>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_09-Williams-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_09-Williams-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Second, and for me more strikingly, is a piece entitled simply &#8220;Landslide&#8221;, painted in 2008, and visible through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.waterworksgallery.com\/artistbios\/williams_jen\/williams_jen.shtml\">Waterworks Gallery website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_09-Williams-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2010\/10\/10_09-Williams-2.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>To me this captures the chaos and ruin of the catastrophic earthflows we see in the Himalayas and other high mountain environments during heavy rainfall.&nbsp;
