Biography

Formerly an abstract painter, Jeanne Wilkinson’s paintings and drawings are now elements in complex collages and animations that merge fantasy and reality. Using tools like Photoshop, After Effects, Garageband and a Nikon D-80, she creates a kind of digital alchemy.

Coming from the lakes and fields of Minnesota and Wisconsin, she earned her MFA at Pratt and now shares a studio in downtown Brooklyn with her husband, artist Frank Lind. The vivid sense of color and respect for earthly beauty in her work reflects time spent on a rural commune and eight years of dairy farming in Wisconsin.
Her artwork has been shown extensively in New York and internationally. In May, 2010, her short animation "GreenHeart" premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), and "Church Lady" and "Beth Dances the Tango" were shown at Art For Progress's ‘Shorts and Beats V VI San Francisco’ in San Francisco. She teaches art and art history at Pratt Institute and Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, NY.
