About
Michaela Jean is an accomplished painter, devoted gardener, and mother from Southern California (USA). Her lifelong passion for art and nature began in childhood, inspired by her grandfather's garden and the Pacific Ocean. In her barn studio, nestled within her cottage garden, Jean creates art that celebrates the bond between humans and the Earth. She oscillates between oil painting and mixed media, with a focus on watercolor. Her creative process involves rapid, loose strokes combined with fine lining, and she often incorporates wax pastels, markers, and colored pencils to add depth and texture.
This one-of-a-kind 5-inch by 7-inch mixed-media artwork features an ocean-side landscape and a sailboat outlined by a gold deckled edge. Created with acrylic, oil pastel, watercolor, and ink on homemade paper, the piece is not framed. The artist has signed it on both the front and back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity from the art gallery. Convenient delivery is available for the Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is offered for US and international art collectors.
Motherhood plays a significant role in shaping Jean's art, infusing it with whimsical elements that express childlike wonder. Inspired by nature, particularly the ocean and her garden, Jean draws from the beauty around her to evoke a sense of wonder and interconnectedness.
Jean's achievements include her digital course “Blue to Bloom” and participation in the Nes Artist Residency in Iceland. Jean has exhibited across the United States and has collectors worldwide.
