🎨 Meet Jeremy Serna, a talented artist and the second-place winner of Galveston's ART Week Perspective Interior contest (January 6-12). Jeremy painted at the historic Grand 1894 Opera House, and his stunning works are now on display and available for purchase at The Galveston Railroad Museum until January 31st!

Born and raised in South Texas, Jeremy’s self-taught artistic journey began with pastels and expanded to airbrushing, oils, acrylics, and watercolors. His dedication to mastering his craft has led him to study under renowned artists like Michael Holter and Alvaro Castagnet. Jeremy’s impressionistic watercolor paintings capture the beauty of life and nature, allowing his work to evolve as he paints "the verb, not the noun."

Jeremy owns Painting with Friends, teaches watercolor classes via Zoom, and shares his artistic wisdom with students eager to grow. His work is showcased across Texas and beyond, with collectors from Eureka Springs, AR, and Ventura, CA.

Don't miss the chance to experience his artwork—visit The Galveston Railroad Museum before January 31st! 🖼️✨
