Artist Statement My work began with large, clean, and colorful florals and has progressed through more abstracted florals and then into non-figurative abstraction. I don’t cling to one style, but am riding a rhythm that challenges me to continue to explore the motion of form and color. I purposely push myself beyond the eye-brain connection and into the heart-hand connection as the observer and not the doer. With this view I don’t get lost in expectation or disappointment, but am constantly excited as one who watches a creation, anxiously waiting to see what appears. I become just a tool in the process. To that end, I have resumed creating fine art photography with the Table Muse Project, a series of abstract photographs which resemble abstract paintings. The entire project has been done on my kitchen table, using macro lenses. The images are manipulated, sometimes drastically, in Photoshop, but I justify doing that because it is art, not documentary photography. Some artists find themselves through their art. I feel that the art, as well as the camera, found me and both are expressing an essence and energy which is the core of each of us. I now know the divine is the seat of existence and I am experiencing the expression of it first hand. There are yet undiscovered levels that I know exist and my goal is to experience them and then translate them into images.

| Artist Biography Wilson is an artist known for her floral prints and paintings as well as her abstract art. Her paintings express a European intonation, arising out of her connection through her mother who hails from Poland. She remembers her mother's love of art and quiet simplicity, impressing on Wilson an affection for undiluted beauty. Jeanette feels exceptionally fortunate to have studied under her uncle, the late Marian Jakubik, a highly respected and renowned Warsaw artist. For more than twenty years she captured the raw elegance of the world through her camera lens, but the paint brush is her primary tool of choice these days.
Found in many upscale galleries and shows throughout the country, her work has been displayed from the Lexington Art League of Kentucky to The Period Gallery in Omaha Nebraska, and on down to the Laredo Center for the Arts in Texas. She was awarded 1st Place Acrylic in the Laredo International Exhibit. Her paintings were accepted in the prestigious Hoosier Salon 2001, 2003 and 2004 Exhibit and Tour. Wilson's original art is also found in private and corporate collections in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Maryland, Colorado, Oregon and in Poland.
"It’s exciting to be able to put my inner visions onto film or canvas and share the beauty, joy and mystery that I am seeing and feeling." |
