Jeanette Crawford Baird
Artist
Statement
For me, my
painting is about learning to see light in new and different ways, how it
affects color and form. It is about developing a deeper way of expressing
myself that hopefully, resonates with the viewer. As I grow as an artist, obtaining clarity of
sight has become exciting. I paint in
both acrylics and oils, with my passion being portraiture, especially vintage
photos. There is something that resonates
with me in trying to capture the gesture and expression of a person at a
precise moment in time.
Currently, I
am exhibiting with a group of seven artists –Bay Area Studio Artists (BASA) as
well as curating several solo shows for the upcoming year. Art has become an incredible focus in my life
as I see where this journey may take me.
I feel like I have discovered my voice through my painting. What an incredible experience!
