Presented in wood frame with linen fillet under non-glare glass. Image size: 20"H x 28"W. Jeanne Manget (born Jeanne Woodbury Carney on May 25, 1913) grew up in Beverly Hills, California with a love of art, music, theater, and dance. After majoring in art at UCLA she moved to Boston to study voice with Robert Weir and to attend Leland Powers School of the Arts. This led to her first position singing with Gilbert and Sullivan in New York City. After her marriage to architect John Victor Manget in 1941 they settled in Atlanta, Georgia following WWII and his service as a Navy instructor pilot. There she pursued her interest in art, painting and selling animal pastel portraits and beginning her career as a watercolor artist. Suddenly widowed in 1949, she returned to Boston with her young daughter and worked as freelance artist. She continued her art studies at Chouinard Art Institute, Boston Art Museum School, and Palm Beach Art Institute. Her watercolor paintings were published frequently in the newspaper daily Christian Science Monitor. She continued to support her family as an illustrator of textbooks and children's books published by Little Brown as well as illustrating for New Yorker magazine. Marriage to longtime family friend Warren H. Smith in 1960 moved her to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he worked in the oil industry. She expanded her watercolor painting career, studying with several renowned artists including Dong Kingman, John Pike, Tom Hill, and Robert Higgs. In the 1970s and 80s her paintings were reproduced annually on Christmas cards by Regency-Williamhouse Company of New York City. Also, five of her watercolors were printed in full color on national newspaper magazine covers. Upon Smith's retirement they returned to their native California settling in the far northern fishing village of Trinidad. Exhibitions of her works in Boston, Palm Beach, Dallas, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City and Tulsa expanded to California including Laguna Beach, Carmel, Mendocino and Ferndale. Six solo shows were held at Challis Art Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA; Semion's Art Gallery, Laguna Beach; City National Bank, Tulsa; Caravan Gallery, Tulsa; and Candystick Gallery, Ferndale.
