Jeanne Welnick- Oil Painter
Painter of Passions and Joy
I find beauty everywhere. The hardest thing is choosing to paint just one fascinating subject at a time. When I paint with my oils, I naturally simplify what my eyes can see and accentuate what my heart feels. Painting is my way of processing emotions and balancing my soul. My painterly style is somewhat abstracted with dreamy shapes of intense color and personal expression. I often create in a meditative or trance-like state and am surprised by the finished results. This mysterious process gives me a sense of anticipation and joy that is addictive.
An essential part of my process is the creative flow that is nurtured by patrons who collect my art. I have sold hundreds of paintings to collectors all over the world and am grateful to them for supporting the arts and for fueling the fire in my soul to paint more!
I have been drawing and painting since 1969. I graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor in Architecture in 1985. I have been showing in art galleries since 1989 and have been honored with one woman shows in two galleries on Main Street in Scottsdale. I live and paint full time in Flagstaff. When I am not painting, I am walking in the forest with my husband and 3 dogs, gardening, fly fishing, visiting friends or art journaling.
