Jean Feeney Artist CV
Born in York, Jean now lives in the heart of highland Perthshire. She has Scottish roots through her father’s family and went back to live north of the border over 20 years ago. However, it was her Read more
first visit to Ardnamurchan and the West Coast in 1990 that provided her with her greatest artistic inspiration where she fell in love with the landscape, light and colour she found there. These elements have been the centre of her creative output ever since.
Jean’s love of art stems from her childhood, but it wasn’t until much later when she undertook intensive fine art training and simultaneously, she began to develop her own style. Her subjects focus on the raw beauty of some of the remotest areas in Scotland and beyond and she is well-known in the art world for her energetic and sculptural use of paint. It has often been remarked that her work displays a keen eye for detail alongside sheer joy of application. Jean has worked in a variety of media and her trademark is strong, bold colours combined with energy, light and atmosphere. Her main influences are the Scottish colourists and some of the German expressionists. Van Gogh is also a dominant influence because of his love of yellow and use of thickly applied and textured paint.
Jean’s work is popular both here and abroad, represented in many private and corporate collections. In addition to Red Rag Scottish Art Gallery. Jean Feeney’s work has been exhibited at other leading galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from Jean’s studio and, like all Red Rag Scottish Art and Contemporary Art, it can be shipped worldwide.
