Jeanine De Waele sadly past away in Autumn 2008. She had a great enthusiasum for life and painting, which shows through her bold and colourful work. She will be missed by many, but her paintings will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Jeanine de Waele; a Dutch painter living in Devon had been painting for more than twenty years.

Bold and daring, her paintings bring vibrant light, brilliant colours and gaiety to landscapes, still lifes and figurative painting. Working in mixed media Jeanine's paintings are characterised by refined use of colour which gives an emotional and even spiritual quality to her work.

Jeanine drew her inspiration from the natural world. Her paintings have a lightness of touch that communicates an instinctive love of nature. Unconcerned with classical perspective and form, Jeanine was interested in the exploration of multi-dimensional relationships within her paintings and the constant discovery of the mystery of what makes a work tick.
