INTERVIEW. An interview with Jeanne highlights PSST activities for February. She describes her own work as using "realistic color as a suggestion, and I love playing with color to heighten visual and emotional effect.  I love it when I hear people say, ‘up close your work seems almost abstract, and yet when I stand far away, it looks so realistic.’  My style has gotten looser and more painterly over time; I am interested in showing the marks and strokes on the paper surface while at the same time rendering something recognizable.
