Creativity is the natural order of life and there is an underlying, in-dwelling creative force in ourselves infusing all of life. Pablo Picasso states: "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." I was aware of my creativity as a young child, drawing nature at its best. Wild life was especially interesting during school years. After raising a family of four children, I moved to Santa Fe, N.M. where I worked among the artist and found a gallery to display my work of small desert scenes I found so beautiful in Santa Fe. In my own development, after 50 years of artistic work, I found to be creative is to live life in its fullness. art is an act of the soul, a soul in search of self. Painting is part of the self which is never finished, but simply makes one look more intently. I have given my attention recently to painting large canvases of flowers. I found the essence of the flower similar to that of the human spirit. The dark cavern at the center of a flower goes to the nutrients below and is nourished. The buds open slowly to reach the light, unfolding their beauty to the universe. And, in their maturity, ambrosia filters through the air and its intention bursts forth. The world senses their purpose to be. so it is in our time, and in our glory, here on earth. We go to the center of our being to find out essence, and our purpose to life.
I studied art at the University of Kansas and Washburn University graduating
with a B.A. in design. My work has been featured in Santa Fe, N.M. and is
represented in numerous private collections throughout the country. For more information on my work, please contact jean@jeanandnormanart.com for references.
