______________________________________________________
Jeanette Luchese is an abstract artist from Innisfil, Ontario working with mixed media such as acrylic, oils, pastel, printmaking, and even some sculptural pieces. Her work requires one to open up their senses for interpretation of the works. In 2008, Luchese graduated with honours from the Visual Arts & Design program at Georgian College. She will soon have earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree as well. Jeanette has received many awards and accolades for her work, including being honoured twice with the Excellence in Studio Award, SDVA Scholarship Exhibition, from Georgian College.
You'll often find marks and lines in Jeanette's paintings. These marks are symbolizing a non-specific journey, experience, movement, momentum....a connection, a hope in recognition of the life we all lead. Like life, her work is sometimes dark and forebodding at times, light and up-lifting at others. By Roberta Murray

"Having viewed Jeanette Luchese’s on line portfolio,
it is my pleasure to recommend her as a fine artist.

In many of her well executed city scape abstractions, one can recognize the influence and insight she has gained from the Russian artist, W. Kandinsky. Her video “Reflections of Interference,” offers the viewer Luchese’s original perception of our own fleeting footsteps while leaving us with an intangible sense of our mortal residue. The series of paintings of pillars, doorways and faces, as well as her sculptures, echo the content in the video. The standing square sculpture seems to be central to this series, combining the colours, jagged edges, chaos, promise and even the reflected ambient light found throughout these works of art.
Luchese’s art language is clearly grounded in both method, technique and her deep sense of creative vision. Providing an authentic view of the full spectrum of life from chaos and desolation to hope and clarity, Jeanette Luchese’s works of art provoke, tease, and teach with brilliance.

Essence and Flow
Falling somewhere between symbolism and total abstraction, Jeanette Luchese's expressions explore the nature of energy as channeled through the body and whatever tool that comes to hand. Inspired by the concept of positive life-force energy, Luchese allows her art to evolve spontaneously based on the active and passive energies that flow out through her body. The results are dynamic, gestural compositions that are uniquely individual in terms of color, texture, form, and symbolism. Jeanette Luchese is completing a BFA from the Thompson University in BC, an emerging artist and instructor her work has been exhibited in Toronto, North Bay, Durham, and Barrie, and Internationally in group exhibitions in United States, Ireland, and Germany. by Artist, curator Theresa Bott,
