About the Artist, Jenny Long

Jenny Long graduated in 2003 from the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at what originally was Okanagan University College in Kelowna. Before her studies at OUC, Long lived in Denmark for a year as a Rotary exchange student, which allowed her the opportunity to absorb a foreign culture and in traveling, realized her desire for visual expression.

For years after her studies Long showed commercially with the Art Ark Gallery in Kelowna where she gained a strong reputation for her abstract portraits. A series of steady private and public commissions followed, including local haunts like Salty’s Beach House and the Hooded Merganser. Another highlight was being commissioned by the South Okanagan Events Centre to create a portrait of John Mellencamp to give to the artist himself in 2012.

Her passion for painting extends to her students she teaches through the Okanagan School of the Arts, which began in 2008 and has led to a beautiful partnership that continues today. Jenny also currently shows and works as a member in the Tumbleweed Gallery Artist’s Collectiveas well as Art House Penticton.

“My work merges the school of abstract expressionism with the act of portraiture. In doing so, the paint itself is figurative-it is just as important as the person it is describing. The language of the ground is heated by emotional, instinctual play with the paint, which allows for the figure to be more than an individual caught in time, but an essence of being.”

~Jenny Long

 

About Red Rooster Winery

Red Rooster Winery was founded in 1990 by a European couple who settled in the area. Our first vintage was released in 1997. It was not long before our winery became known for producingaward-winning wines that express the very best of BC and the Okanagan. Despite our quirks, this is the part that we take very seriously. Click here to learn about our winemaking style.
We also became known for a certain style of hospitality that wasn’t quite like the other wineries in the area. With this in mind, we built the current Red Rooster winery. Just a few kilometers from our original site, the winery is located on Naramata Bench Road. Salvaged wood from the original Naramata Train Dock was used to build the large arched doorways that form the entrances to our tasting room. The art displays, large patio and open grounds encourage visitors to stay awhile. The statue of the naked guy, well, he raises a few eyebrows.


Our wines are crafted with a gentle approach and minimal intervention during the winemaking process. While specific processes vary from varietal to varietal, all of our wines are fruit forward, intending to bring out the best features of the Okanagan. All are ready to drink now.

Our reserve wines, however, have fuller-bodies and more structure, which makes them suitable for putting away.
This magic is brought to you under the careful watch of our winemaker, Karen Gillis.
