  • Biography

    Jennette Elizabeth Stuebing was born about 1901 on St. Joseph's Island, Canada, a daughter of William Henry and Jessie Thompson Stuebing. She and her sister, Margaret visited Bermuda in August 1929 and their ship docked in New York City upon their return. Both Margaret and Jennette gave their occupations as "teacher" and residence as Jarvis, Canada. The purpose of their visit to Bermuda was not stated, but was likely a vacation. Jennette worked as a teacher in Hamilton, Ontario from 1922-1939 at Prince of Wales Public School and later at W. H. Ballard School. She started seriously studying art in the early 1930s, initially with John Beatty, a well known Ontario artist. She traveled and painted in oils for the following three summers and asked Beatty to critique her work after her return at the end of each summer. In the winters she practiced dry point etching under the tutelage of Leonard Hutchinson.She became well known for her dry point work and was made an associate of the Canadian Painters-Etchers and Engravers in the mid-1930s. She exhibited at the Canadian Society of Graphic art and the Canadian National Exhibition. She moved to Taxco, Mexico in 1939 and in 1940 married a Taxco silversmith named Rafael Dominguez. Rafael was the son of a silversmith and student of both his father and well known Taxco silversmith William Spratling. Jennette changed her name to Juana and became a highly regarded artist in Taxco. The Dominguez's shared a studio in Taxco.  Stuebing/Dominguez is mentioned in Climbing the Cold White Peaks: A Survey of Artists in and From Hamilton 1910-1950 by Stuart MacCualg, Visions and victories: 10 Canadian women artists, 1914-1945 by Natalie Luckyj, and in Stuffed Shirts in Taxco by Leslie C. de Figueroa.
