It was the beauty of the Florida Gulf Coast that first inspired Jeanne McGrath to paint.  She started oil painting in 1970, then changed to watercolors in 1972.  During the next few years she developed her "wet on wet" technique, benefiting from the instruction of many local artists.

From 1976 to 1997,  Jeanne has lived in a variety of locations as a result of her husband's work assignments -- Arkansas, Iowa, St. Louis, Tyrol Austria, San Diego and now in retirement, back to good old Pensacola. She is fortunate to have gained recognition for her work in a number of shows over the years.

More significant perhaps, is the ongoing learning experience afforded by the opportunity to paint and study with talented artists having different perspectives in widely differing locales.   This can be seen in her freedom of expression and in her use of color and design.
