Jacobsen takes daily walks through her neighborhood, studying the plants she encounters along the way, and finding fascination in their phases of growth and blooming. In this series, she explores the wild parts of her mind and memory, using her enchantment with nature as her source materials. Already accustomed to working in mixed media, ranging from many thin layers of oil paint, bronzing powder, acrylic paint, and resin, “Into the Wild” also incorporates bits and pieces of Jacobsen’s paper collection. Subtly used, the Japanese papers, Asian inspired designs, and pod-like shapes repeat throughout the work, serving as a type of seed holder and reminding the viewer of the passage of time, the promise of a new sprout, and the circle of life.

“I strive to create a place of magical realism in my landscapes, balancing magical elements with real world rendering of flora and fauna found in our natural world. It is my hope that the viewer is invited “into” my landscapes to fully explore the imaginar y environment.” -Iv y Jacobsen-
