Collection: Large Drawings
Taking Up Space
These large scale drawings started at my residency at Vermont Studio Center and have continued in my studio.
I’m really in love with this series. It feels like the truest way I’ve been able to capture life from a subconscious place. I’ve been working with both soft and oil pastels in these pieces, and that mix gives them such a beautiful, layered depth.
They are currently available for showing and purchasing.

About Jalena
Jalena Hay's process is immediate, embodied, and unrepeatable: each piece emerges from a single moment of presence, a real-time response to memory, sensation, and inner atmosphere.
Her work lives in the in-between: between abstraction and representation, between what is seen and what is deeply felt. Every mark is a pulse of presence; nothing is pre-planned. The result is a body of work that invites contemplation, not just consumption.
Color and line are not used merely for form, but as a felt language, a way of resonating with the nervous system. Rather than explain, her compositions resonate, vibrating with quiet energy and inviting repeated, deeper encounters.
