Hi, I’m Jeanne Cotter and I am an award winning soft pastel artist and tutor.
I teach soft pastel art classes to adults from my home studio in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
You know what I love the most about teaching art classes? I love seeing the amazement on the faces of my students when they step back from the easel and see the beauty they’ve created. It really does make my heart sing. I love showing people how to paint a cloud, or a pear and holding the space for people to connect with themselves and discover their inner artist. And I love teaching and sharing and creating community and watching friendships grow.
I am passionate about soft pastels; I love the colour and texture and the immediacy of pastels, nothing needs to set or dry so there’s no wait time. It’s amazing what you can draw and paint with just a few sticks of pure pigment and your fingers!
If you’re looking for my artworks, you can find them on my Fine Art Website at jeannecotter.com.au.
I am one of the founders of the Toowoomba Studio Art Trail which we launched in 2023 with great excitement and success. This initiative is now an annual event where a small selected group of local Toowoomba artists open their home studios to the public every weekend in September.
