About the artist...

Jolly Kornicks is an award winning artist. She is a long time resident of Huntington Beach, CA, as well as part-time resident of Kauai. Jolly married Alan Kornicks in 1970. They moved several times before settling down in Huntington Beach. When her daughters were preparing to leave home; Jolly decided to enroll in a local college to take art classes for fun. She has always enjoyed art and with the girls gone, she now had time to experiment with it. From the moment she picked up the brush, she fell in love with the magic of watercolor. The main body of her work is large flowers. Kornicks' flowers are over-sized and dramatically rendered. They give the viewer insight into the artist's love for the vibrancy and vitality of flowers. She uses strong axial structure, both vertical and horizontal to give her paintings dynamic energy. She is completely devoted to watercolor as a medium and flowers as subjects. After several years of painting, Jolly had a list of people that wanted to commission her to create paintings for their homes. Jolly quickly found, that what started as a hobby, soon, became her passion. Her work is currently shown in galleries in Hawaii and California.
