Eric Jacobsen Works

Eric Jacobsen spent his early years close by the historic harbors of New England. He received a BA in History from Gordon College in Wenham, MA in 1989 and studied fine art at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, CT. There are many good landscape painters in the Northwest, but the thing that stands out about Eric’s work is the sense of serenity his work evokes and the feeling of wonder he has for nature. Jacobsen is a “plein air” painter. He takes his oils wherever he goes, setting up on site and working until his painting is finished. He says, “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 shows his work nationwide and has won several awards including the “Yankee Magazine Robb Sagendorph Memorial Award” from the Copley Society in Boston, MA and was honored as one of the “Top 16 Emerging Artists” of 2001 by Arts & Antiques Magazine. Eric’s work can be found in galleries and collections throughout the United States.
