Jacqueline Shattuck
Born and raised in Canton Pennsylvania, a Beautiful country town. Woods and fields my playground; my purple bicycle, autumn leaves , and roasted chicken Sunday dinner at grandma’s, often creating something, sketching and painting.
Visual Art program at Keystone College: Ceramic Sculpture, printmaking, charcoal figure drawings, soft pastels, bright acrylics, metals and mold making," I Loved it all so much!" Jacqueline is a graduate with her Bachelors’ Degree in Visual Art with a Concentration in Ceramic Sculpture. I enjoy new singer songwriters, fancy fish dinners, and organic veggies, real gumbo, the Pennsylvania outdoors and the New York Museums. I am currently working on my “Shine On” series of large White and Gold paintings. |
Margie Makowski
is a graduate from Marywood University, Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelors of Arts in Art Therapy and Art History, Minor: Psychology. Margie also studied at Studio Arts College International (SACI), College of Art & Design, Florence, Italy
Margie's creative practice centers on research and reading. For her, scholarly research and reading are as important to the creative process as the physical act of painting. She aims to translate learned ideas, histories, and theories into an emotional response through mixed media and painting. I aspire to find the human interaction and particularly a feminine essence in very concrete and objective concepts. Dried flowers and plants are often incorporated into my work to reflect the life source and belief that the creative process is much like a rhythmic life cycle, always modifying itself and evolving. New ideas are born from learned processes, and mature into a tangible object. I hope to emphasize the unity between creating and learning, exploring new paradigms of powerful expression. |
