Jeannie Lynn Paske is a self-taught artist from the Pacific Northwest who creates introspective work under the name, Obsolete World. Using a mix of watercolor, charcoal, pastel, graphite, varnish and ink, she designs richly textured illustrations of peculiar creatures in thought-provoking settings. The mysteries of life, loss and loneliness are recurring themes, and her compositions often focus on the strange and unexplained. Many of her pieces reference philosophy with a nod to both the melancholy and humorous.  Her soft sparse environments suggest a warm, dreamlike state, and the emotional imagery paired with her poetic titles help to convey a sense of gentle curiosity in her work. Jeannie currently lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, Matthew and their dog, Mavis.
