Jean Peacock

Portsmouth, VA

Jean Peacock is primarily an oil painter. She has exhibited in 10 one woman exhibitions, the most recent, December-January 2008 at The Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Newport News, Virginia. Her painting described by Michael Preble, Director of Exhibition at PFAC:  “Jean Peacock’s encaustic paintings are many things at once – lyrical, daring, rhythmic, bold, humorous, sentimental and audacious. Peacock obviously loves color and all manner of line, shape and form. Her works have a freshness and sense of joy, accomplishment in style and skill in a medium that offers some very unique challenges.”

She participated in invitational and juried exhibitions (currently in the TAA Portfolio Exhibition, Courthouse Galleries, Portsmouth) in southeastern Virginia and has received many juror’s choice awards as well as “Best in Shows”. January 2009, she is exhibiting in the juried exhibition CRUX at The Mayer Gallery, Norfolk, and received “Best in Show”. Her paintings are included in private collections internationally.

 

Jean is currently concentrating her energy into her encaustic painting. She has studios in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, and resides with her artist husband in Olde Towne Portsmouth, Virginia.
