Artist Statement
Jeanette has enjoyed all types of stitch, drawing and painting since early child hood. Greatly influenced by her mother who was a tailoress and her father who enjoyed drawing and painting as a hobby, she was never short of help or materials when needed.

On retirement from a successful nursing career, Jeanette went on to recapture and develop skills enjoyed earlier in life. She is an accomplished artist and uses this skill to great advantage within her textile art and likes to work with multiple mediums. Jeanette is an active member of several textile and quilting groups as well as her local art group.

The love of her garden, the countryside and nature in general, is reflected time and again in her work. She is of the belief that something should either be useful or beautiful (preferably both), and whenever possible portray a message through her work.
