Agnes Jacobs

Agnes Jacobs has evolved through different artistic media to become the artist she is today. Often know for her three-dimensional mixed media wall constructions, Jacobs recent work is with brightly colored and textured monotype prints, incorporating the cut out style reminiscent of Henri Matisse. Jacob's artwork is in such collections as the Washington Convention Center, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, as well as several corporate and international collections.
