Jeanne Bieri

Jeanne Bieri discovered art and art-making in the 80s and it was as if a curtain opened and she was able to translate the visual world into her terms. Art making is a way of life for her. It is visual problem solving that offers an infinite set of tools for understanding and connecting to the world.

After earning her MFA in Painting from Wayne State University she taught at the University of Michigan (Dearborn), Wayne State University, and Henry Ford Community College. She has shown throughout Michigan and the Midwest. Career highlights have been the Michigan Biennial Exhibition and being awarded a Michigan Council for the Arts Grant, and she was also the Gold Medal winner of the Scarab Club in 2008 and 2011.

Her imagery is both realistic and abstract. She enjoys working on large scale pieces like the mural she completed in 2007 for the Ewald Library in Grosse Pointe Park. She is also on the Board of Trustees for the Anton Art Center and a member of the Slippery Weasel Society.
