About Jean Marie Baldwin

"Primarily a painter, I work with paints and dyes on various surfaces from canvas to silk, using ancient and modern techniques. My experiments over the years stimulate my creativity and lead to many new results."

"Currently, I'm working primarily in oil paints with a thick, rich impasto style. I have a fascination with light and reflection using bold brushstrokes to capture the atmosphere of the moment and place."

"Having an education in Fine and commercial art  and through my continuing study with several painters and textile designers, my various work and teaching in the art world, I've managed to find my own style."

"My paintings are an energetic dance of color and texture. 
Painting en Plein air at least once a week and following up in a larger format in my studio helps my work stay spontaneous and alive. On occasion, I will paint with acrylics or dyes, but my preferred medium is oil."
