Jeannette Woitzik


The digital art of Jeannette Woitzik is one of fantasy and imagination. Her works are whimsical 
seem to come out of a fairytale. The three pieces above are some of Ms. Woitzik works.

The first piece .barred is one that is a picture that takes place in a field of grass. The grass is a rich
shade of green. Above the field there is a sky with a multitude of clouds. The sky is relatively dark 
with a pocket of sunshine. Its rays seem to be poking though the clouds. However, in front of the
viewer there is barbed wire blocking out the sunshine. The barb wire is blocking the viewer from
entering the the field which can be seen as a pleasurable experience. Woitzik uses point of view to her
advantage in this piece with creating a sense of encasement for the viewer to feel .


The second piece ~ this wayyyyy tackles the universal theme of love. In the piece there is a road-sign in the
middle of a field of white daises. Next to the sign there is a path that cuts through the field of daisies.
The path is a basically straight one and it leads to a park bench. Sitting on the bench rests a lone, red heart.
Once again Woitzik uses point of view to her advantage. The road sign is urging the viewer to follow down to 
the path where their love is sitting on the park bench. Even the title tells the viewer that it is the right
direction to go. The red heart is sitting to the right leaving an open space for the viewer to taker his/her space.



Lastly, the piece ~ storybook is one that captures the feeling of childhood innocence. The piece
depicts a boy flying his red kite on a storybook. The book is open and inside there is a field of grass
that seems to be coming out from the pages itself. Around the book there is a bright, happy sky.
All of these images give the sense of vivid imagination. The one that comes when one gets lost in
the story of a storybook; an emotion people have felt as children. The image of boy flying his kite is also
nostalgic. The imagination that comes from a child is one that isn't experienced by an adult. Woitzik
adresses this sense of brightness and joy in this work .
