ARTIST JEANNE MAGUIRE THIEME'S ARTWORKS NOW SHOWING AT HANNAH GRIMES CENTER

Jeanne Maguire Thieme is an award winning local artist and paints in her Studio on Pipe Dream Farm in Swanzey, New Hampshire. Her paintings can be seen until the end of March at the Hannah Grimes Center, Monday through Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm. Originally from Connecticut where she began her career in a commercial art studio after graduating from Southern Connecticut College, Jeanne found her way to New Hampshire where she taught art at Keene High School and served as Fine Art Department Chairperson. Thieme left the teaching world to pursue the career of a professional artist and has been painting and exhibiting her work professionally throughout New England and abroad.

Ms. Thieme works in a traditional transparent technique in water color or layering many transparent glazes with opaque colors or with traditional oils. She says that every painting tells a story. She believes so strongly in the power of the brushstroke that she does not produce prints of her work. Each customer receives a truly original piece to treasure.
