Introduction	I am a Madison-based artist whose work expresses my love of nature as seen in all it's colors and textures. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 24 years ago. This diagnosis, which profoundly changed my life, was a catalyst for discovering my own creative expression. I began drawing, writing poetry, and creating beaded jewelry as a form of therapy but soon became interested in the wider possibilities of art for its own sake. My previous experience working with textiles and imported jewelry exposed me to a variety of colors and textures seen in native and ethnic patterns. This experience helped me in creating the compositions for my collages and jewelry design work. I also incorporate my experiences traveling around the country into my art. I am currently creating beaded jewelry and collage which can be seen at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/jeanetteranney You can view my drawings and paintings at my Jeanette Ranney Designs Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=576687366#!/pages/Jeanette-Ranney-Designs/107216172683976?v=info
