Born in Clinton, Indiana in 1951, Jeanne began painting in 1970. Working in both transparent watercolor and oil, she creates images that reflect her deep love of nature as well as her fascination with color and light.

Her paintings have been included in numerous exhibits including the Hoosier Salon, Watercolor Society of Indiana, Indiana Artists Club, Realism Today, The Wabash Valley Exhibition, and the Transparent Watercolor Society of America of which she is a signature member.

Jeannes work is displayed regularly at the Brown County Art Guild in Nashville, Indiana, at the Renaissance Gallery in Lafayette and at Color Works Custom Picture Framing Gallery, which she owns and operates in Mooresville, Indiana; where she currently resides.
