Jeanne LaRae
Welcome to Jeanne LaRae Fine Art
Inspirational, Creative, Adventurer
"I am an artist. I am enthralled with color, value, shapes, design and I share that knowledge in my workshops and lectures. My last 40+ years have been full of exhibits, competitions, gallery work, teaching workshops, and volunteering in my demonstrations, public speaking and hanging works of all artists involved in organizations I've been a part of.
My opportunities to paint 'Alla Prima' and 'En Plein Air are what I love most... They are loose and fresh, and they portray what I am most excited about with the view in front of me. Although formally schooled to paint people and animals, I began to take a strong liking to landscape painting while keeping my hand in painting people, animals, architecture and murals for my commission work."
“Like a composer conducting a symphony, I am in them middle of it all. I get to orchestrate the bass cello creating the darks and the main shapes, then the violins come in, leading the viewer through the path of color with the final bells and frills of highlights making the light dance. The Crescendo, ~ finishing the details to fulfill my mission as I step back into the silence of my surroundings.”
"Each experience in creating a painting is a part of me receiving and giving back what speaks to me."
"This is why I am an Artist."
Please enjoy viewing my art and don't hesitate to contact me.
I was born into a family that enabled me to be who I am, as unique, true to myself, individual, creating my own path. Creative thinking was encouraged, and I decided at an early age to take a path leading to an art career.
Painting is my spiritual meditation as I am connecting to my subject through my soul using my acquired knowledge to guide me on my adventurous endeavors, always exploring and pushing myself for greater personal achievements.
My photography helps me paint in the studio and because it is something I love, I get lost in photographing for future paintings.
I am captivated and drawn to people and I photograph their emotions as events take place. My love for photography enhances my art and my love for art enhances my photography. This is why I am an artist.
Further information about Jeanne.
Artist, Fine Art Painter, Illustrator, Teacher, and Photographer,
Jeanne LaRae explores and discovers from her home town, the U.S. and worldwide "in search of light and shadow and its magical effects." She "loves the light as it dances across a dogs nose, submerges into and through the eyes of a person, causes the shimmer on Aspen trees, the sparkle in water, the drama of shadows and the bouncing light with color creating paths throughout a landscape, and the role it plays in telling the story as it allows Jeanne to relate and deliver it throughout her paintings of nature, landscapes, architecture, people, and animals".
Jeanne LaRae captures visions and reflects them in all forms and techniques of art. Her commissions range from detailed realism, impressionistic, to abstract.
Jeanne encourages and inspires people to look further and deeper into their surroundings, finding the beauty and the story, to listen to the whispers of the world around them as more of a symphony of color and light, and to appreciate the gift and experience of the path. Her students are incited, nurtured and cheered to venture down this journey.
Jeanne LaRae is very personable and approachable for any questions or requests
for involvement in community and/or charitable events.
Please enjoy your visit throughout her works in the 5 categories listed under "Portfolio of works".
Thank you for your interest.
