Jean Batchelder delights in nature’s magnificence, spending most weekends hiking, backpacking, or snowshoeing in the mountains and canyon country – always with her camera and watercolor field kit. She draws inspiration from Aristotle, “In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”
Batchelder’s work is all about her response to nature, whether a misty sunrise or a flaming sunset, a miniscule alpine flower or a gigantic peony, a rocky cliff or a cascading waterfall or a sandy wash. She captures her impressions in watercolor and other water media, eager to share her joy with others. She defines her style as interpretative realism, integrating light and color to draw the viewer into the heart of the painting. 
A circa-60s Hallmark scholar, Jean deferred her art education and career while raising her three sons.  Her husband’s gift of a watercolor class in 1999 inspired Jean to pursue her long-lost love of the medium.  She studies with regionally- and nationally-known instructors, and expands her learning through videos, books, and magazines.  She belongs to several artist organizations and regularly is accepted into juried shows in Colorado and Wyoming.  She exhibits at the Lincoln Gallery in Loveland.
