Jeannie Pflumm was born and raised in Sheridan, Oregon, where her study of art began as a young girl. In her early twenties she moved to Shawnee, Kansas, and continued to take art classes while raising a family, enjoying a career, and completing graduate work at the University of Kansas.
Several years ago, Jeannie turned her full attention to painting and began studying with a number of master painters including international master sculptor and painter Kwan Wu. Throughout the years, she has expanded her art education with workshops under other distinguished artists such as Master Iconographer, Alisha Elizabeth Zeller, M.A., of Germany.
Jeannie's artwork spans a wide spectrum of style from abstract to pop art, and from impressionism to realism. Working primarily in oil, her subjects include still life, portraiture, nature and figurative. Her diversity in style and subject matter is well matched with her extraordinary knowledge and use of color in all her works. Individuals and corporations throughout the Midwest collect her work.
Awards and Accolades
In October of 2008, Jeannie was accepted into the prestigious "Oil Painters of America" organization, and the Greater Kansas City Art Association (GKCAA). She has been awarded Blue Ribbons from the GKCAA, and “Patron” & “Best of Show” awards from the Buttonwood Artspace at The Great American Western Art Show. She has had numerous one-person shows in the Kansas City area and her work has been exhibited at Crown Center and the American Royal western art show. Her work has been published in several Kansas City magazines including KC&G and South435, and her work is on display at the Kansas Governor's Mansion in Topeka. In November 2009, she received the distinguished honor of being the artist chosen to show interpretive paintings of the Holocaust at the 70th Holocaust Remembrance Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she also received an Honorary Award from Holy Family University for her six Holocaust paintings entitled, Lest We Forget.
