A Bit About Me
|
Born in the beautiful lake country of Northern Minnesota, Jeanni Burgwald attended school in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and enjoyed a long professional career in sales and marketing for the healthcare industry.
She has always found the pursuit of artistic endeavors to be a great stress reliever. Her paintings are inspired by nature, the changing of the seasons and the beauty to be found in changes of the landscape. Using traditional techniques, she attempts to capture the mood and activity of the seasons in her oil paintings. The play of light and shadows, the reflections of trees and objects on water, the movement of water, as well as the beautiful colors and textures found in nature, are what appeals to her most, and are expressed expertly, in her paintings

"The last painting completed is usually 'my favorite', but the learning process
goes on indefinitely." She continues to learn from the work of other artists and
many different instructors from the Midwest and the East Coast that she has been
fortunate to work with. "I continue to take oil painting classes and workshops
in an effort to enhance and improve the quality of my work."
In June 2008, Jeanni and her husband Peter opened a small studio near their cabin
on Lake Vermilion in Northern Minnesota. A Summer Art Project was developed offering
oil and acrylic painting classes to adults of all levels of experience. "It was
really a fun and uplifting experience to work with an enthusiastic group of artists
over the summer. So much so, that we have expanded the program to three mornings
a week for the 2009 season."
