Blenheim Gallery and Garden was opened in 2014 with a celebration of ten years of operation in rural Tasmania last year with an exhibition called Director’s Choice.

 A life time in the arts and heritage management with studies at Melbourne University in horticulture has led to a culmination of businesses for Jennie Caswell.

Originally with an artist father David Chapman and from an early age with exposure to Australian and European contemporary art and artists, art has been an integral journey to Jennie’s being.

As Director of Blenheim Gallery it is her full focus sitting with her farming husband Stephen Caswell.

Working with the National Trust in Tasmania and running art galleries has been primary. Jennie has also volunteered in not for profit organisations, the Arts Foundation Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, Launceston and now is presently the past Chair. The Australian Tapestry Workshop in Victoria and Blooming Tasmania with positions on Boards for periods of time have extended Jennie’s business acumen and interests.

 Today, presenting artists work at Blenheim Gallery through exhibitions gives great joy to Jennie personally, and it has led to wonderful friendships with artists through commercial representation of their work as they develop and flourish.
