Jeannie Dolan - Emotional Connections

As a self-taught artist, art has always captivated and fascinated me since early childhood, from the moment I started to draw, it helped me express how I was feeling or ideas I couldn’t quite articulate. The constant challenge of updating and improving techniques and styles as well as continuously finding new inspirations has always brought me a great sense of satisfaction and achievement.

“I feel that art can speak to us, whether it be a memory it might trigger or perhaps it resonates deep with our own experiences.”

Attracting emotion from the viewers is a main element of my artwork, drawing and inviting the viewers into the painting. I love to use my brush, palette knife and paints to creatively capture a likeness and apply expressive strokes to my painting, rather than try for a photographic smoothness.
