| Janene Grende was born and
raised in Lewiston Idaho, and moved north to Sandpoint area in 1974.
She has painted for over 30 years. She paints in gouache (rhymes with
wash). Gouache is a medium of watercolor-type pigments that are opaque.
She also uses silk dyes on silk to create some very vivid paintings
of horses, equestrians, cowgirls and wildlife.Watercolor on silk is
a new direction for this award-winning artist. “The way the paints
mix as you apply them is mesmerizing, very much like watching the dancing
shapes in a campfire. I’ve always liked to use vibrant colors,
that is why I originally chose birds to paint. I will still create realistic
birds, wildlife, and horses, they hold a special place in my heart”.
Janene has done art for the Bradford Exchange and Leanin Tree cards
among others. Her work is shown in galleries across the US and internationally.
As a special treat, you may see Janene working with her horses on the
beautiful equestrian jumping course set up on her property. After Tour:
