Residing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jeannie McGuire began her professional career with a graphic design and photography degree from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1974. 12 years with an international corporation were followed by a free lance graphic design business, portrait and figurative commissions, co-founding a co-op art gallery, and now, what she truly loves to do: create and compose paintings in a unique way.

Exhibiting internationally, Jeannie’s work has been recognized with many awards including the American Watercolor Society’s 144th Gold Medal of Honor for her painting “Kenneth.” Jeannie juries art exhibitions and gives figurative design watercolor workshops to artists, always encouraging a purpose for creating art. Her original work and commissions are in both private and public collections and are represented in numerous art magazines. She is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society and other select small groups.

Jeannie’s strong figurative works in watercolor invoke individual interpretation, communicating a story or feeling. Her work is impressionistic in nature, with an identifiable subject versus a traditional portrait.
