Jeanette Le
Grue was born and raised in Alaska, a land of northern lights and midnight sun.
Her interest in art began at an early age beyond the Kenai Peninsular in a small
fishing village nestled beneath the majestic wilderness of Kodiak Island.
In
1981 Jeanette moved south from her native Alaska to California. The
warmer and more mild climate was all it took to make her passion for
painting blossom. She spent her student tenure painting, in oils, with
many of today's most renowned artists. Jeanette credits the technique of
Russian born artist, Sergi Bongert as having most influenced her
impressionistic style of painting, which is both strong in composition
and vibrant in color.
Influenced
by dramatic contrasts, her work is a celebration of light and long
shadows...and just as the Alaskan sun brings froth the Spring in
twilight hues -- color, is her favorite season. Jeanette
is a juried artist member of the California Art Club, a member of the American
Aritst Professional League, a Signature Member of En
Coulour - a group of seven California colorists, and a member of the American
Impressionist Society.
