Open Mind Art Space is pleased to present our new featured artist, Jann Pollard. A collection of her beautiful paintings can be viewed exclusively on our Artsy page: https://www.artsy.net/open-mind-art-space/artist/jann-pollard

Frequent trips to Europe enable Jann to capture the feeling and sense of the subjects she paints with a fresh vibrant handling of the medium. Light and texture are primary to her compositions in which she captures the essence and feeling of the many places seen and travelled.

"My love of art and travel, combined with a study of old world architecture is a never-ending inspiration for me. I see light, color, shapes and a moment in time that evoke a feeling that I want to capture in my paintings." - Jann Pollard

Pollard is a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society, Southern Watercolor Society and California Watercolor Society.
