Kellie Jacobs

Jacobs' softly textured pastel paintings focus primarily on Lowcountry marshes and beaches. South Carolina’s rich, natural beauty provides her with an endless supply of subject matter. Jacobs uses watercolor underpaintings or washes with denatured alcohol to provide a fascinating painterly appearance to her work. Jacobs visually describes the scene, but allows the viewer to complete the landscape by adding his or her own personal interpretive experiences or memories.

Jacobs’ juxtaposition of bright colors and soft textures appeals to both domestic and international collectors. Traveling to foreign locations has also enhanced her ability to manipulate her chosen medium of pastel to produce desirable and collectible artwork. Many of her works hang in prestigious corporate and private collections nationally and abroad. Jacobs’ work can be found at the Lowcountry Artists Gallery and Gallery by SEWE in Charleston, South Carolina.
