Jelaine Faunce is a contemporary realism painter working in oils. Her subject matter varies and she prefers to arrange her compositions as either tromp l'oiel or tradtional still life. More often than not, her work tells a story and contains an element of humor. Sometimes subtle. Sometimes not so subtle. But the primary goal in her work is to create beauty or joy because there is much to see in the world that is beautiful, joyful, and fun.
