Jeanette's medium is oil and acrylic on canvas and acrylic 'reverse painting' on glass. A process beginning with the artists signature- painted backwards, and all the highlights and closest images painted first. She finds this very challenging for once a brushstroke is made it cannot be painted over. Bold and colorful compositions with "lots of drama" is what Jeanette like's most about her work. From figures to flora, her style remains contemporary, recognizable and unique. Jeanette's art can be found in private and corporate collections throughout Canada, USA, England and Germany. She has shown in many solo group exhibitions and has recieved awards and acclamation for her work. Her paintings and articles have been published in BC Home magazine, the View magazine, The Province, The Richmond Review, The Richmond News, and showcased in the Street of Dreams show home.
