About Jeanine Babyak

Jeanine is a self-taught artist who is passionate about color and concentrates mostly on acrylics and mixed media paintings, though her interests and experience are varied and wide.  One pique interest of hers entails the rich experiences and cultural exchanges added to our lives by travel. 

Having traveled internationally for most of her growing up years as a “military brat”, adapting and adopting other cultures and languages, and making friends quickly was the name of the game until moving to the U.S. in time for high school.

Many years later, as a homeschooling mother who helped establish a large homeschool co-op, she then instilled this love of learning about other cultures and civilizations to her own kids. From curriculum design of studio projects for grades 3-8 based on world history lessons, to costume design, prop creation, mural painting, interior design and textile arts, Jeanine has found “making” as a way of life through various seasons. She’s even published several illustrated children’s books and a few therapeutic interactive coloring journals.

One of her latest collections entails paintings and mixed media pieces inspired by her daughter AnaMichele’s world photography, bringing us Colibrí TravelArt.  (The word Colibrí means Hummingbird in Spanish and describes aptly the experience of the traveler’s gleaning from each journey and experience to add to a life story. )

There is a tale behind each journey and adventure, behind the experience that is living… she wants to bring back those memories of yours and immortalize the moments you probably have in photo archives, into a forever work of art. 

Jeanine intends for her art to be felt deeply and experienced beyond a glance, evoking varied emotions and connection. Drawn to fibers, textures and lively colors, Jeanine aims her art to call out to you, draw you in and tempt you to touch the realistic textures in her paintings.  Bright colors convey joy, crisp air and excitement sometimes, and other times her tones evoke intense rawness and depth.
