"Ripple Effects" a Jean Craney original beaded, Batik painting on recycled cloth, $300

Jean Craney, Multi-media Artist

Picture an artist taking a huge ball of clay, kneading it, folding it and kneading it again, between his/her fingers to get it ready for sculpting. The artist then begins his/her process of sculpting a piece. In the course of forming and smoothing the mold into shape not really knowing how or what this will be only to know this piece will be of purpose. The artist fingers are hard at work reshaping the mold, adding more clay and scraping some of it away unaware of the results simply continuing to create something. This process is fun, exhausting, humiliating, scary, challenging and never ending. This artist is instructed by god and the clay sculpture is me…..

I often refer to myself as a piece of sculpture. A piece, that is in the continual and never ending process. Year after year, shaping into something different, but, still the same soul. I am in a constant quandary of this sculpture certain to have no regrets and proud how it has accomplished. I am learning to meditate (as this takes patients and practice) but importantly and spiritually, Prayer works!  

       I gravitate to the beauty and the mystery of art and nature. Our environmental status concerns me so I strive to make a difference. I have been a firm believer of recycle, reduce and reuse all my life. I enjoy creating things as well as ideas and take pride in the adventure of bringing forth, especially when I’m able to create with recycled material.   

Now knowing a little about me I hope you enjoy viewing my art and know it was passion and love that caused me to create. If you would like to contact me please call 262-268-1773. Enjoy, Jean m. Craney
