Jinesse Reynolds is an artist and environmental activist/change-maker who lives in San Anselmo, CA.
Her paintings are inspired by her love for Marin County’s diverse landscapes, world travels and daily outdoor adventures with friends, family and dogs, Shakleton and Tazz. With her innate color sense and years of apparel design, oil painting landscapes became a natural progression. She follows two simple mantras that she learned along the way: Paint what you see and don’t be afraid. |

Genomics Expressionism” is the theory behind an artistic expression concerned with the fractal structure, function, evolution, and mapping of cells within a design environment. Fractals are patterns that repeat at increasingly fine scales and are prevalent in natural scenery (examples include clouds, rivers, and mountains). The underlying fractal system implies a direct relationship with nature within the work. That sense of peace you get when you are in nature is the impact I hope my work has on the viewer.
The Covid-19 pandemic forced us all into months of shelter-in-place. During this isolation, I experimented with processes that would allow me to create the final digital work without the use of third party printers. After months of failures and with limited supplies available, I have developed my process for Precious Metal Leaf Prints. These prints have a 24k gold, 99.9% silver, or 99.9% copper foundation resulting in an illuminated affect. It is so exciting to again have full control over my work! |

My watercolor paintings are vibrant, realistic and detailed. I love showing the contrast of strong light and shadow in my work. I find the transparency and clarity of watercolor most beautiful. My subject matter varies from local scenes to modern still life paintings to paintings of farm animals. I love the expression of light in watercolor painting and enjoy the challenges that watercolor painting presents.
Last year, I wrote and illustrated COLOR PETALUMA : a historic California town coloring book for adults & children. The coloring book includes 30 hand-drawn Petaluma illustrations and is available to purchase for $20. I accept commissions to paint people portraits, pet portraits and architectural watercolors. Please call 707 291-0380 for further information. |

It’s my pleasure to present an assortment of Artist’s prints, original large canvases, and one-of-a-kind small works from my portfolio of decades of work. These include contemporary and traditional style landscapes, portraits, and abstracts done in watercolors, acrylics, and pastels. I work in series so the images you see are examples from a larger collection.
Throughout my 40 year career in public art and high end decorative finishes (see St. Vincents Church, Petaluma) I have always devoted time to my true passion, fine art. Recently, I was awarded “Best of Show” by Jenny Gheith, a curator from the SF Museum of Modern Art for the national juried show “Alchemy”. I am an intuitive painter, working directly from the subject. Classically trained, (BFA Carnegie-Mellon University) I’ve chosen to transform these skills into an immediate response to the subject matter, allowing my sixth sense and imagination to direct the outcome. Portraits are from live models and Plein Air landscapes. The art prints are available in several sizes to accommodate a variety of living spaces as well as offering reasonably priced custom prints for larger spaces. The pieces live well in both residential and commercial spaces. The prints are produced with archival ink, on high quality art paper. I work directly with a local state of the art imaging studio producing each print from my original work. In addition to originals and custom prints, I am now offering:
