Hailing from Michigan, Jeanne Keckler has lived in Seattle for many years. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan, and also has a Master of Science in Education from Johns Hopkins University. Mixed media is her tool of choice, as she enjoys the textural qualities of paper and paint and how it adds depth and excitement to her work. Her body of work ranges from abstract to representational but consistently uses a bright color palette, with themes of nature throughout. She uses a layering technique of paints and papers, and her overall compositions are influenced by folk art, German Expressionism, and Cubism.
