Jeannette (Johanna Henriëtte) Kommer was born on the 22nd of December 1962 in Penrith, Australia.
Her sannyasin name is Mohani.
At the age of 10 she moved with her family to Holland. For a long time she felt alienated, not knowing who she was or where she belonged. This feeling was a mixture between homesickness and a strange, nostalgic feeling that she could not place.

Australia
Jeannette (Mohani) was born on December 22nd, 1962 in Penrith, Australia.
Some of Australia's elements are consciously and unconsciously interwoven in her oeuvre in which she tries to depict a great desire and sometimes nostalgia. Perhaps not so much homesickness for Australia, but, rather for a world that she knows exists.
Art Academy
"My fascination for repetition of (geometric) patterns developped at the beginning of the Art Academy Minerva in Groningen.
Gradually my work became more organic and less rigid. The paintings became playful and transparant. However, 'Order&Chaos' will keep on interfering with the painting process."
