In 2002, Jeanne moved permanently to Hampton, Virginia.  Two years later, she was juried in as an artist member of Blue Skies Art Gallery.   In 2005, she became one of the owners and board members of Blue Skies Gallery. 

Jeanne has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Florida Atlantic University.  She continues to study art under the direction of James Warrick Jones at The Charles H. Taylor Art Center in Hampton, Virginia and The Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va. 

About her art Jeanne says—“In my paintings, I strive to portray the essence of what I see and feel about my subject and to communicate that to the viewer.  In order to capture the essence, I simplify my subject and identify my emotional connection through the use of color, light, abstraction and representation.  My medium of choice is oil."
