BLUE MOUNTAIN GALLERY

Jeanie Wing is exhibiting paintings that show her deep appreciation for nature.  Her paintings are of landscapes, flowers, plants, and other naturalistic settings.  Having grown up in the woods in New Jersey in the 1940’s, she feels at peace surrounded by trees and fresh air.  She hopes to share her love of nature through her paintings.  Her works are acrylic on canvas and vary in size from small, sweet gems to bouquet-sized and larger.

 

Jeanie studied painting at Tyler School of Fine Arts of Temple U. in Philadelphia with a B.F.A. in Painting and a B.S. in Art Education. She also studied at the Art Students’ League, The School of Visual Arts, The Fashion Institute of Art (NYC), The New School, the University of Iowa, N.Y.U., and the Brooklyn Museum. She has works in numerous private collections and has exhibited her work in many galleries including the Brooklyn Museum Community Gallery, L.I.U.
