Jacqueline Sullivan couldn’t decide the artist she wanted to be when she grew up so she became the artist who creates mixed media abstracts with calligraphy and mark-making and occasionally some formal lettering. And, oh, she makes books, fiber arts, and is exploring and working in metal and glass as well. There is not a surface she has met upon which she has not wanted to throw paint! Her kitchen appliances live in her studio and while she knows the difference between grounds and mediums she chooses to ignore the rules or make up new ones.
And because she loves showing people all of the cool things she has experienced, she started teaching about 30 years ago. And now, Jacqueline is even more qualified because she just became a Golden Certified Artist Educator. People from art centers, guilds, colleges, and trade shows all over the country have hired her to come and show them her methods and her “new rules.” Jacqueline is an experimenter, a lover of paper and color and texture. She is an artist, a maker, and a teacher and life is good!
