Meet JEANNE-MARIE
Jeanne-Marie was born in Zimbabwe and moved to South Africa as a young girl and lived all over South Africa throughout her childhood. She also lived in the UK as a young adult for a short while where she started her working career in the Film Industry at the BBC, Drama. In 1996, she returned to Cape Town, South Africa to start her family and continue her career in the Film Industry. She remained in Cape Town for 3 decades doing life, love and everything else.
Always creative by nature and always dabbling in the arts, it was something she knew she wanted to pursue on a full time basis. In 2010 she made that a reality. She has been actively and daily working creatively ever since. Jeanne-Marie is a lover of film, photography, painting and sculpture.
In 2017 Jeanne-Marie held her first Creative Portraiture on Recycled TeaBags, Solo Exhibition in Woodstock, Cape Town which was later published in Slow and Premier Magazine and Elle Decorate. She has been selling her art worldwide for the past 13 years and in 2016 started teaching online. She just recently moved to Portugal.
