A celebration of nature, its inhabitants and of life itself: Jeanne’s inspiration comes from life’s simple moments: a panoramic mountain landscape; a crowded sidewalk alongside a busy city street; emerald green water spilling over a white sandy beach. “Capturing life’s elusive moments is a magical process. I hope the end result, on paper, elicits an emotional response or triggers a memory that inspires viewers to observe, appreciate and seek greater knowledge of all the beauty surrounding them.”

Watercolor’s "painted shapes": Throughout the years, Jeanne has developed an obvious comfort and skill with transparent watercolor. Moreover, her medium of choice is surprisingly appropriate to her artistic endeavors. As Jeanne struggles to capture the true essence of her subjects – the medium itself resists replication. Her choice of watercolor further illustrates her insight and effectiveness in capturing the intrinsic properties of the moment.

The artist: Jeanne grew up in Putnam County, New York. After studying at the Arts Student League, New York School of Interior Design and Carnegie?Mellon University, Jeanne worked as an award-winning graphic designer and art director. Later, she moved to Central Valley, New York where she and her husband raised three children. Jeanne currently maintains two studios: one in Hudson Valley, New York and one in Maryland. She is presently represented by Piermont Fine Arts Gallery in Piermont, New York.
