Piece description from the artist
In 2022 when a local chef opened a market for microgreens and lettuces, Jeanne had the opportunity to photograph the produce. She turned those images into a series of small paintings. She even mixed her own greens and purples to best imitate the colors of the plants.
Originally from Charleston, SC, Jeanne McIntosh Rietzke holds a BA in Fine Art from the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Jeanne developed her colorful, coastal, and marine-themed painting style in college. In her 30+ years as an artist, Jeanne’s paintings have sold nationally and internationally. She has won numerous awards, been accepted into dozens of juried shows, and featured in national and international publications. Jeanne’s watercolors are easily recognizable by her creative use of watermarks, intense colors, and unique perspectives. Jeanne has also been known to paint in mixed water media including acrylic paint and inks. Her subjects include marine life, landscapes, abstracts, and waterscapes. February 24, 2022, her first children’s books were published. Jeanne has written and illustrated a series entitled Caroline, The Painted Turtle. Both books were awarded first place in The BookFest Awards Fall 2022 in children’s fiction for Diversity and Multicultural and Social Themes.
