Jeanette is an artist living in North Herefordshire. Born in Sweden she draws inspiration from the Scandinavian nature and culture as well as the beautiful Shropshire and Herefordshire border country and indeed further afield. After 20 years living in Shropshire, she has settled in Herefordshire and runs her studio from her back garden. Her works have previously been shown at exhibitions in Shrewsbury and Ludlow, but she feels a new chapter has been started. Jeanette’s creations are positive and her wish is to make the viewer or recipient of any artwork help them look forward to more in and of life. She wants her paintings to convey light, hope, expectation and a way of moving forward in the midst of life. The light is central in most of her recent colour and monochrome artwork.
Jeanette works in a variety of mediums. The main mediums are acrylic and oil, using both brush and palette knife, but she has also developed a passion for charcoal drawing and is exploring the expressiveness of the light and dark that can be achieved in monochrome. She can now also offer graphite and colour pencil pet portraits which is a newfound love. Only positive feedback has been received on commissions up to date.

Having raised two daughters who love horses, this beautiful animal has become a natural subject, as are the landscape paintings. Living in a landlocked area does not give access to daily seascapes but these are memories from life and travelling.
