" The arts have been a very influential part of my life, even
from a young age. I grew up on a farm near Brownville, New York where my father
operated a landscape and greenhouse business. Our family
went on many camping and hiking trips to the Adirondacks, both in my own youth
and again with my children. This helped
give me a love and appreciation for nature and provides my greatest inspiration
for my new paintings.
I started drawing at a young age and was always encouraged by my family. I took all the art classes offered in both high school and college. However, I have been mostly self-taught in the watercolor medium through observation, private study and vast amounts of time practicing. The look of watercolors, so fresh and spontaneous, is what originally drew me to them and my paintings now range from realistic to impressionistic. When my two children were old enough to begin school, I started experimenting with watercolors more and took several classes from local artists.

After almost 30 years I still find the work
challenging and rewarding. In addition
to running my business, I have been teaching adult education watercolor in
workshops in the area. I am grateful to my students as they often give me
inspiration and fresh ideas as well as a renewed enthusiasm. I belong to
several Watercolor Societies. I’m an Associate member of the American
Watercolor Society, Signature member of Central NY Watercolor Society, and
Associate member of the North East Watercolor society.

work can be viewed on my website at www.jeannelbl.com or at my studio in
