Pauline Jacobson

About me:

I'm a painter, photographer and jewelry designer - I guess I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, which I get from my Dad who loves to tinker. I love the ocean and am a scuba diver and underwater photographer. I specialize in watercolors of marine life, and I use my undewater photos for subject matter and inspiration. I market my watercolor originals and prints and my underwater photography on my website, http://paulinewalshjacobson.com. You can see my jewelry designs at http://coralreefdreams.com and http://coralreefdreams.etsy.com. Follow me: http://coralreefdreams.blogspot.com, http://twitter/coralreefdreams. Become a fan: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Coral-Reef-Dreams/75572773681 Born on the Texas coast in Port Arthur, I spent a lot of time at the beach and fishing with Dad, and grew to love the ocean and seashore. I also love to collect seashells and beach glass, some of which get incorporated into my jewelry designs. I have a bachelor's degree in fine art from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, and enjoyed a long career as a graphic designer and cartographer, drawing maps in pen and ink. My career eventually shifted to management and sales of digital maps and software (geographic information systems). In 2001, I left my job to become a full-time artist. My husband, Julian "Kent" Jacobson and I love to travel to tropical places to snorkel and scuba dive. Shortly after becoming certified in scuba, I took up underwater photography. A few years ago, we bought a small "fixer upper" home on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We divide our time between our St. John House, Blue Heaven Rendezvous and our home in Austin, Texas.
