Jeanette Goulart’s work is lively and colorful. She works at both medium and large scale, in both acrylic paints and mixed media. Goulart’s work is about the pleasure of taking a brush and moving it across the canvas with joy. Largely self-taught, she has an instinctive sense for color, creating vibrant and complementary canvases that seem to glow from within.

Goulart has been painting since she was a child; when others might set up a lemonade stand, she would set up an art stall and sell her works to passersby on the street. Throughout her adult life she has maintained a space in her life to continue painting and exploring, using painting to explore her feelings and moods - she refers to this as her “artself.”

Though her work is abstract, Goulart often looks to nature to imbue her works for a sense of color and rhythm. Her playfully titled pieces make one think of city lights or the garden after a rain.
