Jacob Green earned his BFA in Communication Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University. He paints primarily in oil, but after joining the World Art Group in 2019 has regularly experimented with watercolor, acrylic, and digital media. Jacob draws inspiration from the natural world and from art created during La Belle Époque. He lives in Richmond, VA with his amazing wife Emily and their one thousand cats.
Books were my introduction to art; illustrated novels like Treasure Island and The Story of King Arthur and His Knights really captured my imagination and let me travel to new places. That sense of travel, of being in a different time or place, has stayed with me as I’ve grown into being an artist.
I still love being transported somewhere new while looking at a painting, and I hope that I’m able to do that in some small way with my own art. I believe art can be a window into the future, into the past, and maybe sometimes into ourselves.
