have a very high bar. An artist who makes me swoon is David Hockney. Joni Mitchell is a hero. Her talent—lyrics, music, painting—is enormous. I met her during a shoot for the Rolling Stones 25th Anniversary production where I made the backdrops.” With her art, Jeanne Dentzel dances to her own beat, both figuratively and literally—she has taken dance classes since childhood. “To this day, dance is a big part of my daily routine,” she says. “The musicality of movement informs my painting. I find the rhythm and timing of dance plays into my art practice. It is one of the reasons I don’t listen to music. I hear the internal music, feel the muscle memory and put it on the paper or canvas.” “Throughout my adult life, I’ve always made sure that I had an art studio. It’s a choice born out of my intense curiosity and need to create.”
