Jeannette Shoemaker
I studied photography in college and studied pastels for several years under Nicora Gangi, a well accomplished pastel artist and art professor at Syracuse University. For the past 10 years I have been working primarily in pastels and, on occasion, oils. I have been in many shows and won many awards. My work can be seen at the Pat Rini Rohrer Gallery in Canandaigua, NY and the Renaissance Art Gallery in Rochester, NY. I am also currently a member of the Rochester Art Club.
My most respected artists are William Bouguereau, Maxfield Parrish, Edgar Degas, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
I love to paint “figures, faces and florals”. It’s such a thrill to see the human form come to life, an exciting portrait, or a lovely close up of one of God’s beautiful gifts to us, flowers. I acknowledge Jesus Christ as the creator of all the beauty in this world. James 1:17 says: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above".
Pastels are my passion due to their bold, brilliant colors and the immediacy of the medium. I work from photos and life and love the layering and blending techniques to achieve a dramatic realism of light and shadow.
