JEANETTE CHINELLI
I was born in San Francisco, California to a family of Italian heritage. They first arrived on the East coast through. Being creative came naturally for me since there were many creatives in my family that included painters, musicians and teachers. I began with crayon at five and have graduated over the years to many materials and mediums.
My current medium is oil and acrylic. I begin a painting with acrylic to give me a stronger idea about the color palette. Once I have cemented that direction then the oil paint is the final layer.
My appreciation for mid-century modern designs have brought me to the chair as my subject matter. I am sure it was heavily influenced by being raised in the fifties. Designers like Ray and Charles Eames were amazing and talented. A chair is more then a chair, its personal.
For over 15 years I was a resident of Houston. I was involved in the arts on many levels as a working artist and art activist. I moved to Denver three years ago to follow a paycheck and in the interim made the decision to obtain my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I will graduate in the spring of 2019 from the University of Denver.
"Painting is my passion. Color is its cousin and providing some visual interest for the viewer is the artists goal."
