Jeanette Small is an artist who lives and works in Central Oregon, USA since 2013. She likes creating unique aesthetically pleasing images, and is partial to florals, patterns and the human form. Self-portraits are frequently featured in her work. She works with environmentally friendly and archival quality materials. With “Spiritual Well” Jeanette is embarking on a journey of Environmental Art beginning in early 2021.

About

 

Motivated by the desire to share my endless fascination with my lived experience, I communicate my thoughts and feelings through images which conjure associations and catalyze curiosity in my audience. I want to embark on a shared journey with other explorers of the human condition.

 

Focus

 

Primarily, I am a printmaker, specializing in Linoleum carvings (linocut). Most of my work consists of one-of-a-kind pieces (monoprint) and small (often varied) editions. My art can be seen regularly in group exhibitions and juried printmaking shows.

“Spiritual Well” is my most ambitious project to date, marking the beginning of my endeavors as Environmental Artist.

Experiments

I regularly contribute to several print exchanges and love to collaborate with artists worldwide. I am a regular contributing member of the “Body & Soul Artist Magazine” bound and distributed by Corvinus Presse in Berlin, Germany. “Lady Jane” is the result of my collaboration with a gifted local jeweler. I have created book covers and art for music albums, designed labels for a local dairy product, and made sculptures and interactive books. Additionally, I lead ongoing Figure Drawing Open Lab at Central Oregon Community College. Beginning work on a 10-acre Environmental Art piece I called “Spiritual Well” is my most ambitious exploration to date.
