About Gene Jaress
I have been a working artist over the past 55 years. I am currently working on woodcut prints and a couple of paintings.
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. 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
