Keith Jacobshagen

Trained as a graphic designer and illustrator at the Kansas City Art Institute, Keith Jacobshagen has been painting the light and space of the Midwest for close to four decades. Working both in his studio and en plein air, he has focused particularly on the sixty-mile radius surrounding Lincoln, NE to capture images that define the vastness and light inherent in the spirit of Nebraska’s plains. His canvases frequently feature a low horizon line dominated by the dramatic atmospheric effects of light in the prairie’s expansive skies. Jacobshagen captures sunrise, dusk, night and afternoons and includes the farmsteads, highways and grain elevators that dot Nebraska. Jacobshagen's work has been shown in galleries and museums throughout the United States, and since the late 1960s, he has had sixty-three one-person exhibitions, including shows in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. His work is also included in many public, corporate, and private collections nationwide.
