Jeanette Rodriguez is a mixed media artist working with alcohol ink, acrylic, and oil. A teaching artist with over 28 years of experience in the arts. Born in the Bronx and raised in Brooklyn, New York. The daughter of parents born and raised in Puerto Rico, her lineage carries a deep connection to the island’s vibrant color and lush natural landscape. Jeanette attended Philippa Schuyler Middle School for the Gifted and Talented, where she discovered her passion for drawing and painting. Later, at the High School of Art and Design in New York City, she developed her skills in illustration. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. An award-winning artist, Rodriguez has exhibited in both solo and group exhibitions. Her work is held in private collections throughout the United States. After spending over twenty years as a graphic designer, Jeanette returned to working with her hands in a more traditional form, experimenting with various mediums such as painting, clay, dichoric glass and jewelry design—before falling in love with alcohol inks.
Rodriguez’s work explores the quiet rhythms of nature through imagined landscapes, birds, and organic forms. Influenced by her travels and formerly living in Arizona, on the Big Island of Hawaii, Hudson Valley, and now has fallen in love with Texas. Her paintings reflect an ongoing dialogue with shifting light, elemental force, and the subtle cycles of transformation found in the natural world.
In addition to her studio practice, Rodriguez is a dedicated teaching artist who has worked with students of all ages in community settings and online. She has led workshops in Mayer, Arizona; on the Big Island of Hawaii; and throughout the Hudson Valley region of New York. She is the founder of Soul Painting, an intuitive workshop that integrates meditation and expressive painting to nurture creativity and personal reflection.
Rodriguez previously served as curator of the Front Street Gallery in Patterson, New York, and as art director for the Friends of the Kent Public Library. She is a member of Art for Peace Inspirational Art Group International and the Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden. She currently teaches Soul Painting and Mandala Dot Painting workshops at the Eternal Gandhi Museum in Houston.
Through both her artwork and teaching, Rodriguez cultivates spaces of reflection, healing, and connection rooted in nature and creative exploration.
