Jerome Chesley

Jerome Chesley’s collection of paintings, from his years of work, showcase a variety
of subject matter including: still life, floral, architectural and land/seascapes. The watercolor paintings, giclees and mixed media set the stage for surrounding one’s self in a rich indulgence with a range of subtle to bold
color. Much of his subject matter is based on a collection of familiar objects or places he’s visited which have a special meaning or significance. His style allows the white of the paper to sparkle throughout his works.
