After watercolorist Claudette Carlton’s June show at the Cypress Gallery, Chris Jeszeck recently took over as the featured artist. Her Pouring My Art Out exhibit will be up through July 26.
Jeszeck—a longtime member of the gallery’s operating body, the Lompoc Valley Art Association—paints using fluid art techniques to blend realism and abstraction. Flowing color, texture, and movement prompt viewers to stop and discover their own stories within the paintings.
“For me, creating art is both an exploration and a conversation,” Jeszeck said in press materials. “Each painting begins with an element of surprise, and I enjoy seeing where it leads. Sharing that journey with others is one of the most rewarding parts of being an artist.”
The artist is also known in the community for solo shows at the Cypress Gallery and her tenure at the Lompoc Civic Theatre. To learn more about Jeszeck’s work, YouTube channel, and more, visit chrissypaints.com.
Visiting hours at the Cypress Gallery are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday to Sunday and by appointments. The gallery is located at 119 E. Cypress Ave. in Lompoc. Find further details at lompocart.org or by following @cypressgallerylompoc.
