Jean Childs Buzgo is an award-winning, full-time oil painter. For many years, Jean’s work was rooted in impressionism, however, her recent artistic growth has been a transition from impressionism to expressionism and recently ventured into abstraction. Jean’s energy and enthusiasm to create works are inspired by daily walks and observing nature where she translates emotional interpretations of the world around her into paint. She considers her subjects very deeply, conveying what is in her soul into her art. Jean's emotional tone is to put a sense of wonder, curiosity, fascination and mystery onto the canvas. Her artistic interpretations satisfy her need to find joy and to bring beauty into the world.
