JEANNIE MOTHERWELL, born and raised in New York City, studied painting at Bard College and the Art Students League in New York. Jeannie exhibits widely and has been exhibiting in Provincetown since 1998; at Schoolhouse Gallery since 2020, ironically located below the former Long Point Gallery where her father, the artist Robert Motherwell, exhibited. Currently she paints full-time at her studio in Somerville, MA. Provincetown’s influence is clearly visible in her work, where she once maintained a studio on Provincetown Bay for approximately 35 years and has frequented Provincetown every year for more than 60 years. “It is a rare intention, nowadays, to seek out beauty as the final product. But when Motherwell guides us there, we can feel it in our bones as a primal reaction…As viewers, we have been yearning for this complete relinquishment of control. To view her work is to get swept away in the sea, and to enjoy it. Motherwell has spent years on the Provincetown Bay, watching the tides, the boats, the clear blue and calm of peaceful weather, as well as the black, tempestuous skies of storm. That is her core. More recently, she has transferred that awesome sense of divine wonder to the vast sea of unknowable space via the Hubble telescope. The natural world is an endless resource where inner and outer space are expansive, raw, and unfiltered for Motherwell." Isabelle TurgeonJeannie's work has been featured in public and private collections throughout the US and abroad. “My recent paintings are often inspired by the mysteries of outer space and the effects of weather upon the sea. My employment of pouring, bleeding, layering, and using a brush becomes a complex and expansive ‘inner space’ on a flat surface for me.” Jeannie MotherwellSince college, Jeannie has been active in arts education, beginning at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT. After relocating to Cambridge, MA. she worked at Boston University for the graduate program in Arts Administration (2002 – 2015).
