Carrie Jacobson
Carrie Jacobson revels in the joys of color, paint and creativity, using oils and a palette knife to make paintings with a heavy impasto and not much detail.
Self-taught, she began painting 19 years ago, when she was 50, as a way of coping with her mother’s death. She loved painting so much that she left a successful 25-year career in journalism to earn her family’s living through her art.
After nearly two decades of participating in shows across the country, she now paints mostly in her studio, on site on the Shore, and on road trips.
She exhibits in galleries locally and nationally.
She lives with her partner and three dogs in Wachapreague.
