Jeanne Oliver grew up in rural Illinois and now resides in Castle Rock, Colorado. She is inspired by personal stories, travel, and nature. Oliver uses art to tell stories about the present, as well as those of growing up among gravel roads, cornfields, and an early life surrounded by open spaces. Through mark making, layers, and mixed media, she hopes to convey that everyone has a story to tell.
In this session, Jeanne Oliver will talk about the ways simple lines in nature have been inspiring new artwork, including beginning and final marks. Paying attention to “cracks in the road,” the presenter has opened her eyes to the lines all around us. Using simple tools, she hopes participants will also begin seeing and sharing the lines they find in their world.
