The Art of Kresman

Jacquelynn Kresman grew up in San Diego, California. She seems to have made it her mission to capture on canvas every inch of the captivating shoreline of her native state. Kresman, as she signs her work, has probed that seashore since she was a child, living just a block from the beach. She took naturally to the sea-conscious environment from which she sprung.

After study at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Kresman set about to develop a carefully honed expertise in painting those water creatures that would later populate her detailed tidepool paintings. Kresman on occasion, has followed Neptune's lure to other locales in his domain. Her brush and palette have stolen away scenes as disparate as the alluring tide pools of Puerto Rico to the Hawaiian curls so prized by the surfer.

Kresman has had exhibits at galleries in La Jolla, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, and Carmel by the Sea.  Additionally, her work has been seen in many one-woman, two person and group exhibitions throughout the mainland United States, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

The reviews dedicated to Ms. Kresman, which have appeared in a wide spectrum of art magazines, periodicals and other publications, reflect the accolades elicited from her showings.
