Jeff Horn

Artist’s Statement

“I prefer to paint directly from nature and I love being outdoors where I can see, hear, feel, smell and even taste the scene around me. For me, the painting is a translation of nature and my experience of it. If I am successful, I take the viewer with me to feel the moment. I believe good painting is no a slavish copy of visual details, but an emotional response to a moment in nature.”

Jeff Horn is Professor Emeritus of Drawing and Painting from Irvine Valley College in Irvine California.
He exhibits his outdoor landscape paintings at The Laguna Festival of the Arts each summer and at his home studio annually in Costa Mesa, California.
Jeff has received several honors for landscape painting.  He enjoys painting from nature while out of doors and he actively supports several land conservancy efforts in California with his paintings. Some current efforts include: The Catalina Island Conservancy and The Sierra Foothills Conservancy.
His paintings are part of the permanent collection of the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts, and Laguna Canyon Foundation and the Pacific Club in Newport Beach.
Jeff is a Signature Member of the California Art Club and a Signature Member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association.
