I’m Jack Mara – the “JibeMaster”.

Thank you for viewing my bio and wanting to learn more about me. If you are considering a purchase of one of my images, you may contact me first for a free consultation to learn about some interesting purchase options. Simply go to the contact tab and send a short note describing your considerations.

Your first thought may be about the name – Why JibeMaster? The jibe is a sailing term describing a specific move to change your direction.

Like a jibe, a special image can initiate a personal change as it touches your emotions, inspires, or just satisfies. Discovering an image that “talks to you” can be like making a new friend. If that image stays with you, then pay attention to this experience. An image can take you to a place that only you appreciate; or bring you to somewhere new and exciting; it can help to start you upon a new journey; or become the inspiration to pursue a new passion; or result in self-reflection.; or shared with a special friend; or even given as a gift to someone special. Purchasing a piece of art does not have to be expensive to make it very valuable to a friend or yourself. I hope that you will view my images and consider the experience to be special, perhaps even a beginning of a “change in direction” - your very own “perfect jibe.”

Currently, selected images are on display at Gallery on Main, 317 Main Street, Falmouth MA 02540.
