Jean Crocker Returns! Featured Artist

Gladje Gallery

We’re thrilled to welcome back Jean Crocker as our featured artist at Glädje, beginning February 1, with a special second artist opening on Saturday, March 14 from 12 - 4 PM. Jean’s work is rooted in traditional watercolor methods, layered with acrylics and unexpected materials like rice paper, tissue, gesso, and gel medium. Her paintings range from realistic to abstract, always holding onto a sense of place, emotion, and humanity. With a background in commercial art, drafting, and technical illustration—and years of study under nationally known watercolor artists—Jean brings both precision and play to her work. There will be refreshments served in the main gallery for this event. Whether you’re coming with a partner, a friend, or just yourself, we invite you to gather with us, meet the artist, and celebrate creativity, connection, and the joy of making! 💌 Free & open to the public🎨 Exhibition runs beginning February 1; and Jean returns on March 14.
