Jeanne DeBaets

Artist Statement

I am most inspired by the beauty of our Pacific Northwest landscape, the sky, water, and mountains. Capturing the moody and atmospheric quality of our skies especially interests me. I often find my inner world is reflected in what captivates me about the outer landscape. I am hoping to transport the viewer to the emotion in the moment of the work’s creation.

Artist Bio

Jeanne DeBaets grew up in Central California where she was inspired as a young artist by the big open skies and the historic plein-air painters of California. She graduated from California State University Long Beach with a Bachelor of Art degree. When in California she painted weekly with a plein-air group. Moving to Seattle in 1996 brought a new appreciation of the natural beauty and unique muted light of the area. As a busy Working Mother, she shifted to mediums to charcoal and pastel.
