Artist Profile

Jeanne Mundy - Artist and Illustrator
Working outside





















[bHaving studied ceramics at college, I am a fully trained and experienced teacher, and in recent years have been developing my art practice.
I regularly give presentations/demonstrations to art groups, often focussing on ‘the versatility of acrylic paint’.

My log cabin studio is situated on farmland on the edge of Nidderdale, surrounded by a small flock of very tame pedigree Ryeland sheep. This is a great studio space for small group tuition workshops.

Visits by prior arrangement are welcomed.

Much inspiration comes from the glorious surrounding countryside as I work with a range of media, and particularly enjoy opportunities to work outside whenever the weather is fine.

‘Art for Youth North’ October 2023

It was great fun welcoming the BBC television crew into my studio for an episode of series 4 ‘The Farmers Country Showdown’. In 2018 I featured on Forces TV and Look North when providing the artwork for Dan Metcalfe’s highly acclaimed WW1 ‘Fields of Mud, Seeds of Hope’ installation in Ripon Cathedral, and my designs for the steel figures remain in locations around Ripon.

I have taken several commissions and sold work to clients in USA, Canada and New Zealand.

As an illustrator, I continue to produce greetings cards, including those entitled 'Some rabbits....' that are based on rabbits in various ironic and humorous situations, and which are for sale in Ripon at Forbes Gifts and interiors and Gallery49 Bridlington.
