About The Artist

Jacques Vesery is an Artist/ Sculptor from Damariscotta and has lived in Maine for 20 years. Striving to create an illusion of reality, his vision and inspiration begins with repetitive patterns derived from the 'golden mean' or 'divine proportions'. The marriage of pattern, form and proportion conveys a sense of growth from within each of his pieces. His work is in numerous public and private collections including the Detroit Institute of Art, the Contemporary Art Museum of Honolulu, Yale University Art Gallery and The Carnegie Museum. He is a Maine Arts Commission Fellow for 2000 and winner of Sculptural Pursuit Third Annual Sculpture Competition in 2006 Jacques has lectured in Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and the US within the past year and is featured in a new book released this month ''100 Artists of New England'' . He has curated several exhibitions and will be curating an upcoming exhibit called 'Playing Well With Others: Collaboration in Wood' in the Fall of 2012.
