How a late start, a health scare and an abandoned powerplant shaped Janne Kearney's creativity.
Jul 2, 2015
Janne Kearney started painting in her 40’s. She struggled through
her own feelings of not being a “real artist” or that her work was
not valid. After a health scare shifted her perspective and she was
selected as a semi-finalist for the BP portrait awards, Janne is
feeling a lot more comfortable in her role as an artist. Which is
great for us, for her students, and for the people who enjoy her
paintings because with those distractions gone, Janne is focused on
what actually matters: her art.
This show is for you if you are wondering if you started painting
too late. It’s for you if you have ever thought, "why bother
entering that competition?', or wondered if you’re wasting time. If
that’s you, Janne has a few stories for you and a few pieces of
advice you might want to take to heart.
