Jeanne H. Twilley

Artist Statement

  I am a American painter who works with acrylic, oil, and pastel on canvas and paper.  Influenced by Claude Monet, Richard Diebenkorn and Pierre Bonnard, my art work is grounded in sense of place, color and overlaping imagery.  My paintings begin with  one mark of the brush and become a woven pattern of colors that overlap and slide across the surfaces.

The imagery in my work is descriptive of physical spaces around me that are investigated, described and recorded.   Inspired by nature and the human experience, my work is rooted in daily life.  The many spaces created  in my work provide a small window to the stories unfolding around me.
