Jeanne Young - Biography

 


In my paintings, especially my figurative works, I want to tell the story of how special each moment of life is.  My method for communicating these stories begins in seeing honestly.  I rely on my training to accurately judge size, location, value, color, etc.  I rely on my experience and imagination to take the most beautiful of what a subject has to offer.

The desire to create art is something that has driven me for as long as I can remember.  I’ve spent many years studying under modern day masters to refine my skills and channel that drive.

I liken my paintings to poetry because poetry seems to leave room for something of the audience to be added.  It almost isn’t complete without the recipient adding something of themselves to the poem.  I want to draw people in, take them somewhere beautiful, and let them fill in the rest of the story.
