The JCCNV is pleased to present the community with this vibrant show.  Mark Isaacs, a local Virginia artist who has tropical connections, is best known for his colorful seascapes and landscapes. He find that each location he paints has a unique character that varies throughout the day, night and seasons.

His vibrant palette and painting style is rooted in the Impressionists and his life tentacles reach to the Caribbean, especially the U.S. Virgin Islands.
