Artist Statement:
Eric Jacobsen was born and raised near New England’s historic harbors. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Gordon College in Wenham, MA, and studied fine art at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, CT. Eric travels through the Pacific Northwest with his oil paints, and paints on site in plein aire style. He writes, “It is most important to me that my paintings convey a certain mood. I want them to be felt by the viewer without his or her having to analyze or think about them.” Eric is distinguished with many national solo and group exhibitions, awards, and honors. He is represented by galleries throughout the United States, and his works are held nationally in private and public collections.
