Jeannine Close

Jeannine is a mixed-media artist living and working by the English coast in Folkestone. Interested in all aspects of design from packaging to architecture, Jeannine’s design background has a strong influence on her artistic work. She creates layered mixed-media abstracts that invite the viewer to pause and reflect.

Jeannine loves the freedom abstract painting brings and how each painting develops its own life during the process. The work is mostly inspired by mental states of calm and chaos, translated into spacious areas paired with energetic marks. She starts with the idea of a colour and a technique, then lets her intuition guide her through the painting process.
