Jeanie Schlump
Specializing in Western landscapes & iconography
Always artistic, Jeanie first achieved national recognition when, at ten, she won a year's free pass to the FOX Theater's "101 Dalmations" coloring contest. When she was in her 30's, she decided to take a few university art classes. An encouraging professor, Richard Evans, convinced her to become an art major. Jeanie immediately became the recipient of numerous grants & scholarships.
Since graduating in 1990, Jeanie Schlump has maintained a self-supporting studio in Laramie, WY. Her work features realistic & colorful renditions of the Wyoming landscape. She is proficient in the use of most 2-dimensional art forms and also does a bit of sculpture.
In 2000, Jeanie received the Wyoming State Historical Society's award from the Governor for her restoration of 19 large sandstone carvings & 3 small steeples on the First Methodist Church (1890) in Cheyenne, WY. She has also done numerous oil & pastel painting commissions.
Jeanie Schlump received a purchase award from the 2003 Wyoming Governor's Capitol Art Exhibition. The Wyoming State Museum purchased a large pastel in 2004, & she has been accepted into the 2006 Wyoming Governor's Capitol Art Exhibit. One of Jeanie's original pastels, Trail to the Rockies, will be featured on the front cover of the 2006 Wyoming Cultural Guide.
She currently teaches drawing & acrylic painting at Laramie County Community College in Laramie and will be teaching drawing, water-based media, and sculpture in the Fall.
