Jackie Cress BIO I grew up in the small beach town in Santa Cruz California. With so much art and beauty surrounding me, I was easily influenced and knew right away that the only thing I wanted to do with my life was to be an Artist. I graduated from the Art Institute with my bachelors of science in Industrial design in 2010 and have been working in different art fields ever since. I am currently working as a caricature artist and enjoying every second of it. Artist Statement I create drawings of people who have a lot of character and try to put my own artistic spin on it. I am also very influenced by Illustrators like Norman Rockwell and strive to be as good as him.
