About the guest artist instructor:

Jeanne Power

​

"As  a painter I find inspiration in what I see in my community that  surrounds me.  I paint these subjects and moments in hopes to show an  authentic expression of my experience.

I  have had a combination of formal art education at Franklin Pierce  College;  Studio Arts Program at Brookdale College and being  self-taught.  For the past 10 years I’ve continued and enjoyed taking  art classes throughout Monmouth county. These classes have proved to be  an invaluable experience. There is always something new to learn and  someone new to meet!

I  paint primarily in watercolor using dry brush, glazing and washes. It’s  a fascinating medium because there are so many ways watercolor can be  used.   It’s also a bit of a thrill because you must be completely  committed when your fully loaded brush first hits that paper!  A mistake  can’t be erased, only accepted and loved.

Some inspirations are Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keefe and the fascinating portraits by Dima Rebus."
