Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Ryan Jacque and I am graphite pencil artist, living and working in Western Massachusetts. My art shows my passion for birds, animals, New England nature scenes as well as creating one of a kind commission portraits for my customers.
I have always loved to draw. Pencil is my sole medium and has been so for over 25 years. For me, pencil instantly shows everything in values and allows me to create depth and texture, and is more in tune with the way I interpret possible scenes. I’ve taken chances and tried to expand the subject matter to some degree, but the goal has changed very little… to deliver the best I can before putting the pencil down.
My experience in nature began mostly from having taken hundreds of long walks in the beautiful fields behind my grandparents’ Amherst home when I was a kid. These early travels greatly influence how I see the beauty and complexity of the natural world. It is still with me as I walk, explore and photograph the woods near where we live in Wales Massachusetts. The location may have changed, but how I view it never has.
I appreciate your interest and I value your business. Please contact me directly at ryan@ryanjacque.com if you are interested in buying one of my original works or commissioning me to do a custom portrait.
