Jack Freeman is more of a traditional painter who describes his style as a combination of impressionism and expressionism, with some English realism thrown in. As for his philosophy of art, he says, "I try to resolve volume and space, color combinations and transitions, light and movement--things that depict life. You have to be alive. You have to be able to see something as if for the first time and paint that."   

Although he spent many years in his studio painting portraits, still lifes, and what he calls "theme paintings" (mostly political or mythic in nature), he is now focused on landscapes. "There's just something about being outside that I like. I want to paint something sweeping and beautiful and that has a mood and a feeling."          

McKinley Art Solutions is the nexus between artists in the San Francisco Bay Area and patrons of contemporary art.  San Francisco based curator and art lover Matt McKinley, principal of McKinley Art Solutions, is fascinated by the impact art has on quality of life and works to demystify the language of visual arts by offering a full range of services for both artists and collectors.
