Paintings
The artistic excursions of Jean Groberg. Mostly in oil, with a bit of acrylic mixed in here and there.
Drawings
Sketchbooks are my constant companion. I haven't carried a purse for years, but there is always a sketchbook by my side.
One is on the car seat to record what I see while awaiting various services, one in my studio, one in the office and one in the kitchen. There is also a "doodle" sketchbook by the telephone for pure foolishness. They become a visual diary and a wonderful reference for paintings. Come click on the pen and ink drawing galleries below and see where my sketchbooks have taken me.

Tankhouses
A Tankhouse, at its genesis, was nothing more than a water tank built on a tower to make water pressure. Once built, they evolved into many different types of structures put to many different uses. When you are attuned to their presence, you will discover them in a myriad of shapes and configurations across the West.
Quilting
In the 1970's I became interested in crazyquilts. Since there was no available literature to help me, I developed a crazyquilt method using the sewing machine, a method that left nice flat seams.
I first crazyquilted simple items such as placemats and pillows. These were followed by a crazyquilt-style denim bedspread and a reupholsteed recliner chair using fabric from old denim jeans. I created shirts, skirts, coats, jackets, vests, blouses, bathrobes and ascots and demonstrated my machine-sewn crazyquilt method in quilt classes and at Community Colleges.

Artful Diversions
With busy hands and an active mind, the creative drive will cause one to find expression in a variety of mediums: from stone mosaics to curtains made of driftwood and eyeglass lenses. View some of the eclectic projects.
