Jeanne Pellegrino “In The Spirit” opens at Thrasher-Horne Galleries

Famed local artist and teacher Jeanne Pellegrino will premiere her newest collection of paintings, “In the Spirit,” at the Thrasher-Horne Galleries.  The exhibit will continue from December 1, 2017 – January 15, 2018, during regular Gallery hours.  “In The Spirit” is a series of Abstract Expressionism and Color Field paintings harnessing the expressive language of color, both gentle and vibrant, to evoke emotional responses from viewers. Inspired by divine revelation, Pellegrino’s art reveals the intimate handiwork of the creator breathing life upon canvas.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Jeanne Pellegrino pursued her B.F.A., and M.A. at Bowling Green State University, culminating in a Master of Fine Art from Florida State University. After teaching at Jacksonville University, she opened Pellegrino Studios of Fine Art in Orange Park. Pellegrino’s work has been featured in prominent collections including The White House, Florida National Bank, The Haskell Collection, and Jacksonville’s Mayor’s Collection. She was selected for the U.S. State Department’s Art in the Embassies Program, and has been featured in the prestigious Kottler Galleries (NYC). Her work has also been shown in the Cummer Art Gallery and is a part of the University of North Florida’s Art in the Library collection.

“To me, this is one of the most important openings I will have had because of the number of my students from over the years that will be able to attend,” said Pellegrino.  The exhibit will continue from December 1, 2017 – January 15, 2018, during regular Gallery hours of 10 AM – 3 PM, with additional hours available by appointment.  Mrs. Pellegrino will also be selling limited edition prints of “America’s Grace,” her most famous work which is housed in the permanent collection of the White House.
