See the bird-focused artwork of local artist Jeanette Fournier
at VINS Nature Center, through March 31.
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) is proud to
present local artist Jeanette Fournier and her exhibition of
bird-focused artwork. Fournier's watercolor pieces will be on
display at VINS Nature Center now through March 31.
A self-taught painter from Bethlehem, NH, Fournier's artwork
hangs in private collections nationwide, and has been exhibited in
prestigious art exhibitions in New England. She employs her unusual
realistic style of watercolor painting to capture the up-close
details of nature and wildlife, observed during her years of living
in northern New Hampshire and Vermont. Her subject matter includes
mammals, songbirds, and owls, many of which were painted using
resident owls at VINS as subjects. More of Jeanette's work can be
seen on her website, http://www.jfournierart.com.
During Fournier's art show at VINS, a percentage of the proceeds
from the sale of her artwork will go to VINS to support its mission
of environmental education, conservation, and avian
rehabilitation.
