About
Jeanne James-Hory
Jeanne James-Hory, a Canadian-based painter, creates her original energetically charged acrylic paintings on wooden panels. Her work explores themes surrounding the tenacity and magic of life - it’s reaching and striving, despite hardship.
Although never formally trained as an artist, she earned her degree in graphic design at what is now the Seattle Creative Academy. Her years of braving the world as a single mother inspired her current direction in creating art that heals and supports, and sharpened her skills of observation and tuning into her surroundings.
Now living at the top of beautiful Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Jeanne has become a bear-rescuing, balloon animal-making, volunteer fire-fighting, swing-dancing, spiritual-adventuring, aikido-loving, extroverted hermit who has a way with paint. Arting to increase joy and flow is her passion.
