Jean Grady - Soaking Up the Sun - Acrylic on Gallery Canvas with image wrapped around the sides, wired and ready to hang

Canadian artist Jean Grady captures the rugged allure of the big open skies, lakes, and trees of the Northern Ontario landscape with a distinctive impressionistic style. Her passion for painting began at an early age and was kindled through a blend of workshops and university courses; but to a large degree, she is self-taught. Jean is mesmerized by intricate patterns of light and shadow in nature. She prefers acrylics for the freedom to maintain a fresh style with vivid colours and a broad value range, enabling her to create art that is joyful, full of bold harmonies and detailed with a whimsical touch of magic. Jean paints from personal connections and experiences, often framing her paintings from her perspective in a kayak, giving the viewer a chance to feel like they, too, are on the water. Her work can be found in many private collections throughout North America and Europe. The process of painting gives Jean a feeling of joy, peace, and awe at the beauty of nature. Jean hopes her artwork transmits the same feeling to the viewers.
