Jeanne M. Tubman is a native of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Her art
works are featured in fine art galleries throughout the state as well
as private and corporate collections in the U.S and abroad. Her
specialty is "photo realism", an artistic style resembling photography
that produces an accurate and detailed representation of the subject.
She has appeared in dozens of juried fine art shows throughout the
state of Michigan and several solo exhibitions in Michigan and South
Carolina. Growing up in a city where the Coast Guard is highly visible
and surrounded by the Great Lakes, Jeanne has always enjoyed all
aspects of the water. Her 12' by 20' studio, offering a breathtaking
view of the Saint Mary's River, inspires paintings of Great Lakes
ships, Coast Guard vessels, lighthouses and the natural beauty of
Northern Michigan. In addition to her original paintings, Jeanne has
limited edition prints and archival quality giclees available.

Education: She studied art at Lake Superior State University 1985 and
Sault College of Ontario 1984-1987 and has been painting since 1977.
She studied with Nationally acclaimed decorative art instructor,
Priscilla Hauser at the Binney and Smith Co. in Detroit, Michigan.
She studied "photo realism" at Sault College, Sault Ste. Marie,
Ontario. Having painted for the past 32 years, Jeanne became a
professional artist in 2004.
