About Gene Jaress
I have been a working artist for over 50 years. I began working with woodcut prints a few years after moving to the Skagit Valley in northwest Washington State. The light and atmospheric conditions created by the Salish Sea, Skagit River Valley, and Mount Cultus looming to the east have a strong influence on my work. Aside from the importance of good composition, I am a strong believer that meticulous craftsmanship from the initial image to the finished framed piece is what creates a high quality, long lasting work of art.
"Without craftsmanship inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind".
Johannes Brahms
