Barbara Jaenicke paints to capture feeling rather than form. Her goal is to express an experience or mood through light, color, and atmosphere, rather than simply depict a subject as it appears. Each painting is a search for something beyond the surface, a way to communicate the emotional weight of a place or moment.She approaches her work with both discipline and openness. Every painting presents a challenge, and not all reach the level she hopes for. But when a piece comes together and carries the feeling she intended, that moment is what makes the process worthwhile.
