Jean Grady captures the rugged allure of the big open skies, lakes, and trees of the northern Ontario landscape.Her passion for painting began at an early age and was kindled through workshops and university courses; but to a large degree, she is self-taught. Jean is mesmerized by patterns of light and shadow in nature. She creates art that is joyful, full of bold harmonies and detailed with a whimsical touch of magic. The process of painting gives Jean a feeling of awe at the beauty of nature. She hopes her artwork transmits the same feeling to the viewers.
