Her passion for art grew as she grew! In 2016 Jeannie was introduced to the world of brush lettering and modern calligraphy. She soon realised that she wanted vibrant colour in her work. Especially fascinated by watercolour, she began to study the medium almost daily. She began painting expressive floral designs and worked continuously to find her own unique style and technique. In 2016 Jeannie published a how-to watercolour book titled ‘Hello, Watercolor!’.

Creating everyday has become her way of life. Her desire to share knowledge has led Jeannie to create printable materials for others to learn the art of brush lettering with an online course where she introduces watercolour floral painting to new students.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Saunders Waterford paper from St Cuthberts Mill for a significant amount of time, making it my brand of choice. This high-quality, 100% cotton watercolour paper is designed to withstand lots of water without warping, which aligns with my artistic style. I prefer working on cold-pressed paper which has the perfect amount of tooth. The lightly-textured surface enables me to paint the delicate details like flower veins while also ensuring that my work scans well, allowing me to share it with a wider audience. Additionally, this paper enables me to easily manipulate moisture levels for various wet-on-wet techniques, helping me create vibrant and luminous paintings!"

Through social media outlets, lettering guides, and online workshops, Jeannie strives to inspire others to pursue their creative goals.
