Hello!
My name is Jeanette
My favorite crayon in the box has always been Periwinkle. I can’t remember a time when I haven’t thought of myself as an artist, and my life has always reflected my creative nature. I had the best 70’s childhood a girl could ask for, which meant playing outside in the California sunshine, often up in a wild and wonderful treehouse or down in the weeds creating little worlds of my own.
​
Those childhood adventures inform my work today. I love to look deeply at the way light filters through leaves. I find beauty in the small details of a tiny patch of weeds or a cluster of berries.
​
When I am painting, I feel a peace and a stillness in my mind that I don’t feel any other way. I love the tactile feel of charcoal on paper, the sumptuous, buttery texture of oil paint, and the challenge and reward of creation.
Fine art connects us all with the best that is in us.
