Jean Bertrand Artist
Austin, TX
Jean's preferred medium of choice is pen and ink with watercolor, a combination she finds both captivating and expressive. She takes pleasure in creating artwork while listening to music, allowing the rhythm to guide her hand as she meticulously places dots on paper. To Jean, art is a powerful tool that should tell a story or evoke strong emotions, whether they be of joy or sorrow. Originally hailing from New Orleans, she now resides in Austin, Texas, where she continues to draw inspiration from her surroundings and experiences.
Several of Jean's pieces are deeply personal, reflecting her own life story and emotional journey. One such painting, titled "Shoes", was inspired by a poignant memory from her past - the moment her mother removed her father's shoes from their closet after he passed away from cancer when she was just 19. This simple act left a lasting impression on Jean, which she translated into a moving piece of art that speaks volumes about loss and remembrance.
In her work entitled "Doomsday Claw Machine", Jean's dark sense of humor shines through as she humorously depicts her grim outlook on the future of our planet. Believing that Earth is hurtling towards annihilation, she presents a whimsical array of possible doomsday scenarios, with only the resilient cockroach emerging unscathed. Her love for cats is another recurring theme in her art, as seen in pieces like "Cat-lendar" and "Dog-Gone-It", where feline friends play a mischievous role amidst a sea of dogs.
Each of Jean's pieces is a testament to her boldness and willingness to bare her soul through her art. By sharing her unique perspective and experiences, she invites viewers to connect with her work on a deeper level and find their own stories within. For those looking to add a touch of personality and humor to their home or office decor, Jean's prints are a perfect choice.
