Born in Yorkshire England, Jeanette emigrated to Australia in ’93. In England she was a graphic designer and ran her own advertising studio but was always painting and drawing. For the past 15 years she have been running her studio "Little River Art Studios” in Grose Wold, NSW. She teaches in her studio on a weekly basis and also holds weekend workshops. She loves to work in all mediums, covering most subjects, but being a mad animal lover she really enjoys painting animals and birds. Jeanette also enjoys doing demonstrations and is constantly working on commissions. She mixes different mediums to create new marks and textures, loves using charcoals, inks and pastels, as well as oil and acrylic paint worked with a palette knife. Jeanette exhibits regularly and won many awards.





Jeanette will supply some images, but encourage students to also bring in images of their own. Both days will include drawing in charcoal and mixed media, introducing acrylics and oils. You will need medium to large paper and canvasses or canvas paper. The materials list is a general one and you may wish to bring in other materials such as pastels, conte, watercolour or gouache.
