About Jaleen Grove
I was born on Canada's west coast and I lived there for about 15 years. I've also lived in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and a few months in Quebec; and in the US I have lived in New York, St Louis, Sarasota, and Providence. My home base is Hamilton, Ontario, near Toronto, but I am working in Providence, RI, USA, at present.
I was a fulltime artist until 2004, when I began my graduate studies. I have worked professionally in many areas of the visual arts, from photography to installation to sculpture to web design printmaking to book arts to illustration. Recent work has been in graphic narrative and cyanotype.
Coming from a family of artists and scientists, I have always taken inquisitiveness pretty seriously. One day I found that making art was not enough for me--I also needed to write about these inquisitions we call art. The act of creating has always been very important to me and that is essentially what I write about: artists' creating, and viewers' creating (which is often called understanding) as they absorb a work of art.
