Some amazing artwork by a very talented artist that I have the privilege of knowing; Jeanie Auseon. During her many years as an art teacher and fine arts coordinator, teaching was the art form that claimed her time, energy and creativity. Jeanie creates abstract surface designs by elaborating on the spontaneous interaction of permanent dyes to forms of resist (i.e., wax, vegetable starches, folding, clamping, etc.). She then prints, draws and paints on these surfaces. Her designs are inspired by the shapes, colors, patterns, lines and textures from many cultures as well as randomness and repetition in nature. "The illusion of movement, balance and depth on two dimensional surfaces are constant sources of exploration in my work."
