Jeanette Perez began painting in 2009 but became more serious about it a few years later. While she explores various mediums, watercolor remains her first love due to its fluidity and movement. Living in western Montana, Jeanette draws endless inspiration from the natural beauty around her, particularly the landscapes of Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks and the Bitterroot Valley. Her work aims to evoke feelings of joy and nostalgia, inviting viewers to connect with the scenes she paints, whether through fond memories or the desire to explore the places depicted.

Jeanette also balances her artistic endeavors with her role as a trauma counselor. She finds a natural connection between healing and art, having experienced firsthand how painting can foster personal healing and help others on their journeys as well. Jeanette enjoys experimenting with different mediums, such as acrylic pour and epoxy, but always returns to painting as her primary passion.

Her work is well-received at the Hamilton Farmer's Market, where she sells original paintings, prints, and merchandise. Jeanette’s art reflects her love for Montana and the powerful emotions its landscapes inspire.
