Jeanne is a native New Englander born in Boston and  maintaining studios on Cape Cod and in Downeast Maine. She has been painting for 30 years and is primarily a plein air oil painter who interprets nature in a realistic and impressionistic style capturing a memory or a moment.  Jeanne states that inspiration for a painting can evolve slowly over months or instantly on location, so she often will do small plein air studies from which a larger painting will be created in the studio.

She has exhibited with many prestigious local and national art organizations.  In 2007 two of her paintings received national recognition as Top 100 winners in two separate national competitions:  Paint the Parks and Paint America

and became part of  traveling exhibits in the United States.
