About the artist: Jeanette Locher (j~lo the artist)

I have been an artist since I was a child, always dabbling in paints and other media. I wanted to be an artist in the professional atmosphere since I was in High School, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the support that I needed to pursue that dream. I got deterred to another profession but after many years of doing what I needed to do to get by, my heart was still an artist and needed to be set free again.

I decided to start up my creative juices again and am having fun doing what I love to do

best, creating beautiful images for others to enjoy. I do paintings and have had many

shows in and around Detroit. It was very exciting as one time on opening night I sold one of my pieces. I also am a published poet, photographer and songwriter and as of late,

actor in (so far) three films!

I moved 10 years ago, to the SW part of MI to pursue another venture- crafting! I find the beach a great place to walk and find rocks and beach glass which get morphed into one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry! (you can view these and more at my artist site www.facebook.com/jlotheartist )

I love nature and most of my work is based on nature and the outdoors. I can only try to capture what the greatest artist; our Creator has already done, within my photography and paintings as well as my jewelry.

I have a dream, as do all artists of being discovered outside my small part of the world and am working very hard on this dream; to make it a reality would be the happiest moment of my life.
