Jeanette Sabo

“I ruined before I could hate in spite of the spite I misplaced in hells big kitchen sink covered in dirty water”

Movement

Jeanette trained at Elliott Clarke’s College of Dance and Drama, then spent seven years as a professional dancer and choreographer. Dance taught her the thing every painting still carries: expressions without words.

Music

Writing melody lines and lyrics, recording albums and live performances put her in another medium. As guest vocalist on The Glove’s Blue Sunshine album, she continued to explore the depth of her art.

Paint

In 2010 she picked up charcoal with no teacher and no plan — just the same wish to express without conversation. What came out was surrealism.

She has danced her stories, sung them, and now paints them — the medium changed three times; the intent never did.
