Jennifer Ressmann - Colorado and Coastal Landscape Painter
I like the sun. Ok, I - Love, love, love the sun. I hate to be cold - it's not just uncomfortable - but it makes me a little skittish. Like claustrophobic even. So, many years ago a boy and I packed our bags and moved from the cold in the Midwest and headed to the Southwest. I had planned on going to California - but the boy convinced me that Colorado was even sunnier than Florida - and we had to try it out! That was 20 years ago.
Once you get to enjoy the Rocky Mountain State - you're hooked! It's gorgeous every day of the week and certainly offered me more sun than what I was used to.
The beauty of Colorado has always inspired my work. For many years I was a photographer capturing the beautiful landscapes and horses in the area around my home and in the mountains.
Wanting a change from photography - I tried my hand at painting and fell in love. Creating what you see, choosing the colors that inspire you, capturing the pretty and creating it with my own flair and style! It's just so pretty! It's so fun!
A number of years ago my husband took a job in Florida and we go back and forth between these 2 beautiful places in the country. We are so lucky to get to enjoy such different exciting environments. Florida is so lovely and I just can't get enough of it. It's just natural to bring out the paints and start capturing the beautiful colors of the tropical plants and flowers. And just get me started about the Ocean - Oh my! It takes my breath away! I could stare at it for hours. The sound of the waves and the warm sun keeping me toasty. (I really really love to be warm)
And, I just love this country. I haven't traveled around it enough by any means. But what I've seen I love to share how pretty and captivating it is!
I hope you find something here that's the same for you - Captivates your heart, your imagination. Reminds you of the beautiful places you've enjoyed in your life, on your travels. A pretty painting that captures your heart and brings that charm to your home. Remember the special times and places in your life.

Jennifer Ressmann was born and raised in Wisconsin - among farms and fields, water sports and fishin'. She, spent many summers running through the corn with friends and always thought it would be delightful to be a farm girl, even though she'd always been a townie. In her heart, she's always loved the land.
Following graduation from high school, Jennifer carried out her art studies at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. After graduating with honors in the spring of 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography, she moved to Colorado and worked in the commercial photography and graphic design fields. With many fun years freelancing and running the design department at the Sentinel & Transcript Newspapers, she met her husband through some mutual friends in Golden, Colorado.
They bought a little house, got a couple of dogs and nestled themselves in - between the Colorado Plains and the Foothills of The Rocky Mountains. With it's gorgeous big sky sunrises and sunsets, it's mild winters and tons of sun - Jennifer thinks of Colorado as her little heaven on earth! Again, falling in love with the land!
Jennifer began to hone her focus on painting this Beautiful land - The Colorado Landscape: Ranches, Cows, Mountains! And recently, she's had the opportunity to make Florida part of her life - and Coastal Paintings came to life! If you don't find her in the studio, she's probably out hiking with with her dogs in one of her favorite Colorado fields or strolling on the Beach with her Husband! See some fun pictures of Jennifer out and about enjoying beautiful Colorado and The Beach!
