Jack O'Rourke

Jack O'Rourke lives and paints on the northern California coast. A graduate of the Vermont College of Fine Arts, he paints chiefly in watercolor. The nude figure is a favorite topical feature in his work, and is often interpreted in neo-expressionist style. Another important category of his work includes the rugged coastline near his home. His paintings have earned awards at a number of exhibits, and appear in private collections.
