Biography:
McCartin is above all a storyteller. Her work encompasses a broad range exploration of human emotion, and (as Jannie) includes simple sweetness rendered in symbolic, narrative sculpture and sculpted theater. McCartin is a multi-discipline artist, sculptor, costume designer, and culture and arts writer, each form influencing the other. Jeanne McCartin created non-wearable, expressive wall masks, then moved on to full figures, until a need to explore stories at greater length led to the 3-D, sculpted paintings she's created over the past few decades. McCartin has exhibited throughout the US, and her work is part of the City of Portsmouth, NH's permanent collection.
