New to southwestern Virginia, Jeanine transforms natural and found objects to create unique art for both outdoor and indoor spaces in a style she's named 'Farm Art'!
Originally from the small rural town of Davison, MI, Jeanine came to settle in Elk Creek, VA after 21 years in Charleston, SC. In search of a new "farm life" lifestyle, she and her longtime sweetheart, Jesse, stumbled upon Galax one day and fell in love with the area. They now have a property in Elk Creek where they are restoring a 100+ year old farmhouse and outbuildings in order to create a wedding and music event venue.
With a degree in Interior Design from Michigan State University and a background in watercolor and acrylics, her restoration work has given her a new passion for antiques and deep appreciation for the intrinsic beauty in old rusty, forgotten and often discarded materials, which she uses to create her one-of-a-kind art pieces. |
