Jeanne Krabbendam

Born in Holland, Jeanne (pronounce it like the French do) lived in The Netherlands and Northern Africa, before immigrating to Vancouver, Canada in 1999.

 

Since that time she has been busy establishing herself as a talented mixed media artist with European flair on the West Coast. Jeanne is an artist full of energy and passion. Painting has always been part of Jeanne's daily life. She has formal training in the European art tradition and extensive exhibit experience both in Europe and North America.

 

After finishing art training in The Netherlands and France, she started painting in themes, working with acrylics, water colour, oil paint, encaustic techniques, printmaking and collage. Working in themes, in series of paintings, allows her to explore a theme or concept. This way the process of painting is for her a journey, a voyage through ideas, composition, texture and colour.

 

Always trying to get as close as she can to the story she wants to share.
