Carol Jessen Biography:
I have worked as an artist in San Francisco for 15 years. My principal mediums are oil painting, pastel, and Japanese woodblock printing. My approach to developing and designing my art, prints and posters reflects my interest in capturing the fleeting moods of cityscapes and landscapes as they are transformed by fog, rain, light and darkness. I have lived in Japan and traveled widely throughout Asia and Europe, accumulating images through sketching and painting on site and through photography. I use the photograph as a frame of reference and a point of departure. I do not reproduce the image exactly since the image I produce is highly subjective and in essence is expressing my feelings about the tension between content and form.
