2020 ART CARD

Artist Bio

Jeff Olson is a Seattle based artist with a significant and original body of work spanning more than thirty years.

His paintings offer a unique vision of the landscape and the inspirational forces of nature which shape it.

The canvases are boldly colored and the brushwork dynamic, reflective of the physicality of the land and the processes of painting.

His primary medium is acrylic paint on canvas, applying the material with a direct and rapt technique.

“Genuine painting involves risk-taking. I rely on spontaneity and embrace the unplanned and accept that painting, like nature, is a continuous chain.”…”The emphasis of my process is one of discovery. It is this philosophy that makes painting exciting and meaningful for me, and feeds my ambitions as an artist.”
