About Me

Am now showing, May, at Mary Benson Gallery, 369, 3rd St. Jersey City, a 10 minute walk from the Grove St. station of the Path. Shout Mary Benson if no one is there and someone will let you in.You can see more at my website, http://www.janinebrinck.comBorn and raised in Seattle, Have lived in the east village for 20 years. I paint outdoors when the weather permits near the Bethesda fountain. If you see me there, definitely stop and say hey.If you would like to buy a study or detail painting, message me. I am saving the large paintings for my show, they take 6 to 8 months to do.I love to paint to alternative rock music, such as Bright Eyes, Belle and Sebastian, Rilo Kiley. Big movie buff.
