Jeremy Serna was born and raised in South Texas and currently resides in Brownwood, Texas. Serna is a self taught artist. At an early age, Jeremy began working with pastels and it metamorphosed from there, “the next thing I knew I was airbrushing, using oils, acrylics and watercolors.” He studied immensely to get where he is Literature such as “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards drove his desire to practice, study, learn, and develop more defined artistic abilities. To further develop his skills, he attended several classes with Michael Holter. Serna continues to study and attend classes with well-known watercolor artist, Alvaro Castagnet.
Jeremy has developed a love for watercolor and acrylics. His paintings are impressionistic, allowing the painting to evolve from what is recognizable to the eye. Serna says “Plein Air painting is the best form, life and nature are the best teachers. Creating brush strokes that tell the story of what is happening around me and keeping the painting loose is exhilarating.” Jeremy sets the tone of his day by sketching every morning with a brush. “I sketch every day to connect with what I see, interpret it in my brain and put it on paper. I paint the verb and not the noun.”
