Obituary for Jeanne M. Maroney


Jeanne Maroney

Jeanne M. Maroney of Pleasantville passed away on January 27, 2015. She was born in New Haven, CT. and was the loving daughter of John and Evelyn Maroney. She was a graduate of Brown University which she attended on a full scholarship.

Jeanne for most of her life was a writer and editor (painting “in her spare - time”). In mid – life she decided to become more serious about that spare – time pursuit. Then living in New York City, she studied painting first at the New School, then with Herman Rose. When she moved to Westchester she studied watercolor with Hugh Gumpel and outdoor landscape with both Elaine Galen and Larry Horowitz.

Jeanne was primarily a plein air painter (“taking advantage of Westchester’s great outdoors, from the Hudson to the Sound”). Later in life she became interested in still lifes. (“It started on a day too cold and wet to work outdoors.”) She worked mainly in oil and pastel, sometimes in watercolor.

A longtime resident of Pleasantville, she had exhibits in the Westchester area for many years. Her work was carried by the Open Studio in upstate Franklin, N.Y. during the summer. She was a member of the Village Gallery of Katonah, where her work could be seen year round for a number of years.
