Jeanne Lightfoot

Jeanne is a self-taught painter, poet, and assemblagist whose studio practice mirrors her work as a psychotherapist: both require curiosity, patience, and the willingness to let go. The key difference lies in temporality—art offers immediate results, while therapy unfolds slowly over months and years as clients move toward their essential nature.

Painting, mosaics, assemblage, and poetry have been ongoing components of her own evolution. For Jeanne, making art is an expression of what it means to be fully human—constructing and deconstructing knowledge of self and personal narrative over time. Her paintings employ layering and removal of paint and color, allowing meaning to emerge through process rather than predetermination. Her poems articulate shared human experiences while deepening trust in her inner voice and the unfolding of her life.

Her work reflects a therapeutic understanding of transformation: that identity and understanding are not fixed but revealed gradually through sustained attention and the courage to revise.
