Normally I like to post images of my work on this blog but today I'm just posting an update. I'm so excited and proud to announce that I have been accepted into this year's National Mosaic Exhibition, for my entry Beach Umbrella. If you happen to be in Cape Cod during August, stop in and check it out, and then send me a photo because I won't be able to attend in person. *sigh*
I am one of 55 artists selected and I couldn't be more pleased.
And this is the frosting on what has been a very sweet cupcake of professional success this year. I also sold two larger mosaics within days of each other. One, Mysterious Amy, was featured in an earlier blog post on this site and the other I haven't posted yet.
I see now why some artists' careers just seem to snowball. Sell something, or get into a juried show and the confidence boost just seems to reinforce your vision and drive to get back into the studio and continue working. It's good to be able to do that without the external reinforcement, don't get me wrong, but boy, it sure helps.

About Me
- Jackie
- I am a graphic designer and artist working in Wisconsin. I have experience in design, illustration techniques, marketing & communications. My design aesthetic includes bold color, rich texture, a nod to the visual past when it suits the job, & an emphasis on communicating in a way that makes sense to the reader. I’m always looking for ways to communicate the specific message in the piece I’m creating, which means I can produce a wide variety of work, from a clean, corporate vibe to a fun and funky look for a show or program. I am accustomed to listening carefully, asking questions, and learning what I need to know to do a great job. I also understand the crucial role great communications play in the success of any business. With my background in writing, marketing and communications, I won’t just dump your text in the design without reading it. You can expect a fully integrated designer who can give positive, constructive feedback when needed and take it as well. I’ll do my best to assure that your work says exactly what you want it to say.
