Jean Feeney

Whilst Jean lives in the heart of highland Perthshire, some of her greatest artistic inspiration comes from a very different part of the Scottish landscape. On her first visit to the West Coast in 1990, she fell in love with the landscape, light and colour there, and these have been at the centre of her creative output ever since. Although Jean’s love of art stems from childhood, it wasn't until much later, after a back injury, that she became an active artist.

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. Her trademark is strong and bold colour combined with energy, light and atmosphere. She cites her main influences as the Scottish colourists, the German expressionists and, of course, Van Gogh for his love of yellow and use of thickly applied and textured paint.

Jean’s work is popular both here in the UK and abroad, and is represented in many private and corporate collections throughout the world. As a result of growing demand, she now produces very popular limited edition prints.
