Jeannette Pomeroy Parssi is a product of the Midwest, where her love of art was
nurtured by a family whose passion for art, music and theater was instilled at a
young age. Jeannette discovered her talent for painting after the birth of her first
child in 1994 and it wasn’t long before her natural gift surfaced and she became a
prolific artist. Her bold color palette and distinctive style tell the story of an
individual who is sure of her place in the world. Her work can be found in 35
private collections around the world.
In an effort to share her gift with the world, in November of 2004 Jeannette
founded ArtStart, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide
educational opportunities in the arts to at-risk youth in underserved areas of Palm
Beach County. Her talent is matched only be her generosity, as evidenced by her
frequent donations of time and talent to charity organizations such as the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, American Lung Association and Hospice of
Palm Beach County.

I consider art to be more than simply a medium for expression. Art is the revelation of my soul, the outward manifestation
of that which lives deep within my inner being. Unspoken yet ever present, the power of art lies in its ability to bridge the
divide between what we know and what we have yet to learn – or may never learn – about life, love and all that truly
matters in this world. Art does more than express feelings; art creates feelings and allows us to touch others.
Art is life. Life is art.
