ARTIST STATEMENT:
abstract painting
Jeanna’s art is an exploration of abstract expressions of emotional ambiguity. Created with acrylic paint on wood panels (or the occasional paper board), it is a dance between thick and thin/sharp and soft layers of contrasting colours using a combination of pallet knives, brushes and reductive tools.
Her paintings are representations of an inner dialogue with anxiety. She is inspired by moments of conflicting emotions/thoughts and the elusive sense of calm. It is this ambiguity, the back-and-forth / push-and-pull feeling that she aims to capture in her works while still maintaining an overarching sense of balance. Each work reflects how she sees herself at the time, and the method of painting helps her sort through emotions by giving them colour, texture, shape and rhythm. Finding balance within a piece puts life into perspective. Her work is a way to challenge, explore, share and acknowledge her anxiety and life experiences.
