"Polly Fattens the Goose"
Jeanne Whildin


    Jeanne Whildin, an artist since the age of 4, lived her
    first life in the Chicago environs.  Educated at the Art
    School of Illinois Wesleyan University, The School of
    the Art Institute and the American Academy of Art,
    her focus was commercial illustration and line
    drawings.  Freelancing, teaching and lettering also
    reflected her interests at that time. In her second life
    in Door County, Jeanne has been able through her
    woodcarvings to rekindle with her early appreciation
    for the simplicity and honesty of folk art. These can
    be seen in private collections throughout the
    Midwest. Her work can now be seen at the Woodwalk
    Gallery in Juddville and at her home studio in
    Jacksonport, where she would truly love sharing the
    beauty of her inspiring Lake Michigan views with
    visitors and friends.
