Jeannette Berndsen a Florida artist, originally from The Netherlands,
gains inspiration from true life to paint the otherworldly landscapes etc.
called “graphic impressionism”.
“Everything I see is an impression and I work it out in my graphic way".
It is cheerful, positive, playful. "This is my playground",
said Jeannette, gesturing to the art covering the walls of her studio.
I play around with my fantasies.
Fantasy may explain the whimsical style of her work, but all of it is grounded in reality.
I like challenges. They make me think a little, then it is fun making the art, she said.
“What I do is work, but it is a passion”.
Jeannette, who grew up in the Netherlands and returns now and then,
said she and her husband fell in love with mid-Florida for its quiet and beauty,
both of which she uses to her artistic advance.
"Nature is beautiful here. I can show my work anywhere.
It doesn’t matter where I live”.
Indeed, Jeannette has works of art in all parts of the globe,
from galleries in her native country to Sweden, France, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy and the USA.
