| eanine Borree reclaims boxes,
windows, and other wooden objects to explore relationships and events. Her art
challenges the assumptions we make about painting and functional home
furnishings. She breathes spirit into shapes of evocative storytelling, where
form, color, and design are integral and systemic.
Jeanine lived in Southern
California until her mid-twenties. As a child, she attended the Otis Art
Institute and spent many hours in the LA County Art Museum. At UCLA, Jeanine
studied art and humanities. She now finds that she has returned to painters who
delighted her as a child--Bonnard and Vuillard.
Jeanine currently paints with oils
on primitive wooden cabinets, boxes, etc. She enjoys the entire process--from
discovery through woodworking to painting. She completes a painting on the
exterior and another on the interior. As a child, she was intrigued by boxes
with secret drawers. Now, she smiles as she realizes that the interior painting
is the "hidden drawer" with a secret that completes or contrasts with
the concept shown on the exterior.
