sent her to the Munson Williams Proctor School of Art where she spent evenings and Saturdays morning
engrossed in the arts.
She is the Executive Director, Signature Member, and Founder of International Plein Air Painters. She
organized the first International Worldwide Paint Out for Plein Air Painters in 2003. Jacqueline holds the
degree of Master of Photography, earned for the excellence of prints in international competitions and
