Local Treasure with National Renown: Meet Jennifer Hayes

Walk into Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis and you will be greeted with abstract works of art that furnish the Hotel lobby walls. These works of art are vibrantly coloured and instantly provide a sense of warmth and style, the perfect compliment to the contemporary architecture of the building.

"Passion is what drives my creative work. You see it in the bright bold colours that dominate my figurative and abstract paintings. They are a celebration of texture, colour and curves," says Jennifer Hayes. Her upbeat works of art have not only caught the eyes of Four Seasons guests, they have also attracted celebrity chef Hubbert Keller.  Keller has commissioned Hayes to create unique paintings for his restaurants in cities such as Las Vegas and San Francisco.

Guests looking to bring home a a piece of local art are in luck, paintings can be commissioned directly through Hayes. Painting live is also one of her specialties and a sure way to elevate a local wedding or event, adding an artistic element to a memorable occasion.
