Artist Biography
Jeanne Ouellette paints the world around her. Trained as a landscape architect, she has found herself at the intersection of the natural environment and design throughout her career. A skilled draftsman, she is focused on interpreting the landscape of Maine in oil paint. She takes particular inspiration from the mountains, rivers and seacoast—from the dramatic changes in weather from summer to winter and from the evolving quality of light from dawn to dusk. Her work reflects the village character of small towns, as well as the vitality of downtown neighborhoods.
Jeanne Ouellette graduated with a BA in Art from Colby College, Waterville, Maine and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She owned her own landscape design firm and created beautiful outdoor spaces for people to live in. Now, as a working artist, she studies her surroundings and seeks to capture the spirit of place in her paintings.
