Hey there! I’m Jes, a watercolor artist from South Portland, Maine. I’ve spent my life exploring the stunning coastlines and rugged mountains that make this state so special, and I’m endlessly inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds me.

From a young age, I was enchanted by the way the light dances over the water and how the landscape changes with the seasons. Whether it was hiking through the rugged trails or wandering along the serene beaches, every corner of Maine seemed to offer a new palette of colors and textures.

I find that watercolor is as fluid and dynamic as the landscapes I love to paint. There’s something magical about the way water and pigment blend together, creating layers of color that can be both bold and subtle.

My work is a reflection of the things I cherish about my home: the peaceful mornings by the sea, the vibrant colors of autumn leaves, and the gentle play of light across the landscape. I hope my paintings offer you a glimpse into the beauty and tranquility of Maine, just as I experience it every day.

When I’m not painting, you’ll probably find me out on a trail or by the water with my children and pups. I love sharing my journey through art and hope my paintings bring a touch of Maine’s magic to your life.

Thanks for stopping by and joining me on this artistic adventure!

Warmly,
Jes
