February 5-27, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 5, 5-8 pm
Artist Talk: Sunday, February 15, 11 am-1 pm
Maus Haus Gallery presents “Vesuvius“, a one-woman exhibition that features work by Jennifer Mones. It opens on February 5 and runs through February 27 at Color | Ink Studio in Hazel Park.
Jen is a surrealist oil painter living in Detroit since 2017. Jen earned her BFA in illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. She’s worked in various creative fields, including UX design and fine art. She has exhibited work in Los Angeles and throughout the Midwest.
“I work in oil paint, drawn to its capacity for saturation and layering colors. I describe my work as ‘surreal colorful nonsense.’ I love paint: the way color behaves when it’s pushed too far, the way forms can dissolve into something playful, unsettling, or absurd.”
The public is invited to attend the Opening Reception on Thursday evening, February 5 from 5-8 pm. It’s free, and you’ll have the opportunity to meet Jen. Light refreshments will be available. There is free parking in the lot and on the side streets. Then return for the Artist Talk on Sunday, February 15 from 11 am to 1 pm to hear from Jen and discuss her work in person.
Once the show opens, visit MausHausGallery.com/online-preview to view the available work online. The Gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday, 1 to 5 pm, and at other times by appointment. Contact Cheryl at MausHausGallery@gmail.com with questions or to make an appointment.
