“THE ART OF NATURE”
An exhibit of fine watercolors by
JEANETTE FOURNIER
at Jean’s Playhouse
June, July, August 2016
“Meet the Artist” reception at Jean’s Playhouse
Saturday, June 11, 5:00 to 7:00 PM
Jeanette Fournier’s beautifully detailed watercolors of animals and birds in their natural surroundings speak eloquently of her love of the natural world. With family ties in the White Mountains of NH and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont she has spent many hours observing and drawing what she sees in protected forests, rugged wilderness, farmlands and small villages.
Remarkably, Jeanette is self-taught. Living and working in a beautiful part of the world provides daily inspiration. During the long northern winters she has extended time to practice and perfect her drawing and painting skills in the studio. Jeanette says, “I want my artwork to remind people of the importance of having the natural world around us, being a part of it and of the importance of saving our wild places.”
Her artwork is in private collections throughout New England and beyond. She is an associate member of the Society of Animal Artists and the American Watercolor Society and shows her paintings locally at WREN Gallery in Bethlehem and the LocalWorks Gallery at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods.
Please join us at Jean’s Playhouse on Saturday the 11th of June from 5:00 to 7:00 to meet this gifted artist and talk with her about how she produces her extraordinary paintings.
