Reclaiming Herself 

The Observer

Jeanne uses digital drawings, to create these nice pieces of work. Reclaiming herself stood out to me because in many ways i think this picture represents a lot of young women today. Society, celebrities and latest fashion shows how a female should look, act, and be. However, once you've reached that point where are okay with who you are, you start to reclaim  YOU, all the bits and pieces of what defines you starts to form the women you will become, and the things that were basically placed in you head as the "ideal" women stars to drain out.

The observer seems like a general old man that everyone passes by and never talks to but he is the one who could tell you every truth about your life you would never want to speak of. This picture was taken by Jeanne and turned into a piece of art that your mind and can explode and come up with so many possibilities on what is actually means. 

"My art is about the changes that permeate and transform our lives. The titles suggest their meaning for me, but I aim for universality and encourage individual responses. My sources are diverse and often unknown -- even to me. Branching organic lines could reference rivers, blood vessels, or perhaps the veins in a leaf. I merge plant and animal, inanimate and animate. Sometimes a tree becomes a person…or a person becomes a tree. I simply begin, respond to the evolving image, make numerous changes over the course of many work sessions, and continually evaluate composition until at last I am satisfied."
