Jeanne Steffan is a Portland, Oregon-based painter known for her vivid, textured acrylic works that explore nature, allegory, and the concept of "temporal beauty". Originally from Southern California, she is inspired by the Pacific Northwest's landscapes and coastline, using bold colors and sculptural textures in her "paint forward" style to depict subjects from coastal scenes like Thor's Well to delicate floral paintings. Steffan's art, which she describes as her way of "making sense of the world," aims to capture the beauty of things "being of one's hour"—true to what they are at any given moment.
