About the artist

Jeanne Lamar is an accomplished painter who is comfortable working in multiple mediums. Born in Santa Ana, California, she has lived in southern California and Princeton, N.J. with her husband and two children. In the 1970s they moved to Littleton, Colorado, where the beauty of the Rockies and the red rock formations were influential in her work. In the early 2000s they returned to California and settled in Santa Rosa, in the heart of the wine country.

Unabashedly in love with color and composition, she creates works that are a little “over the edge”. Her knowledge of art—and other cultures—has been enhanced by extensive traveling in France, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska.

She has studied at the Art Institute of Southern California in Laguna Beach and the Pasadena School of Fine Art, and with other influential artists, including Robert Brackman, Roger Kuntz, Helen Winslow, Milton Zornes , Charles Reid, and Christopher Schink.

Current memberships include the California Watercolor Association (Signature Member), the Colorado Watercolor Society (Signature Member), the American Watercolor Society, Watercolor Artists of Sonoma County (WASCO), and the Santa Rosa Art Guild (SRAG).
