JEANNETTE MACDOUGALL
ENCAUSTIC | OIL | WATERCOLOR | DRAWING

Jeannette MacDougall, Studio Comfort Texas
ARTIST STATEMENT
"I am an Artist-Painter on a gypsy sojourn. I seek the solitude of the landscape; content to travel the distance through my work to capture what I long for; a sanctuary in nature. I come away with what I can carry in memory and inspiration.


"I am a contemporary artist who works in a multitude of mixed-paint mediums. My process culminates in the studio, but the joyful inspiration comes from seeking out a piece of the landscape that stops me in my tracks. Like a hunter I observe what is hidden. It is in the underbrush and the dark beauty in nature that appeals to me. Dead limbs, fallen trees are evidence of our impermanence. Perfection is unreal, but the imperfect is perfectly beautiful.  I build fresco-like paintings in plaster on birch wood panels which can handle the distress of marred surfaces. The application of various layers and removal of pigment is not unlike an excavation. I search for the undiscovered strata beneath the surface only to leave it be and carefully move on to new ground."

— Jeannette MacDougall


ARTIST STATEMENT: ROOT SERIES
"These excavations of botanical forms in wax and plaster are a deeply personal exploration of my roots, yet the symbolism is universal. Entangled as we are with the soils of our past--the bittersweetness of nostalgia, private tragedies and triumphs, relationships to other and interconnectedness of all--these are the nourishment of our now and future selves. We are sustained by the light, always reaching toward it, and if we allow ourselves, always growing while firmly, deeply rooted."

​— Jeannette MacDougall
