“Her relaxed mid-career paint application in Field and Sky lends lively energy to the scene. Sellmer is really coming to artistic maturity through strong drawing abilities, an understanding of perspective and a comprehension of landscape elements ranging from delicate water reflections to the formidable masses of mountains.”

“Sellmer keeps getting better with every show. She is relaxing into her own vision as her chops develop. She is an artist to watch.”

“Jeannie Sellmer also offers several nicely painted landscapes that lean toward abstraction. I first noticed her excellent work at the Fisher Gallery a few months ago.”

“In Mid-Afternoon Sellmer touches the soft side of the Soutwestern land. Her slightly soft-focus vision depicts a grassy plain leading to earth-colored hills. She treats the hills as delicate flesh and the bush covered middle ground as a welcoming carpet.

“If you were to walk in the real place that Sellmer alludes to, you would not find it as comforting as she implies. The grass is prickly and likely filled with burrs and goatheads. But it's Sellmer's fiction that I find appealing. As a plein-air painter she well knows the lies she is telling with her brush.”
