About the Artist
 

Jacqueline Doyle Allison’s award-winning mixed media paintings are a celebration of her life and reflected wish to create a visual and interpersonal connection through her art. Insights, observations and personal life experience are visibly expressed in Jacqueline’s richly layered artworks.

Using a variety of techniques and multiple layers, Jacqueline uses an intuitive approach to her art by allowing each layer to speak to what comes next. Jacqueline creates with traditional artist mediums such as acrylic paint, India ink and oil pastel along with uncommon materials like fabric and thread to create a lush surface with a rich sense of depth. The artist’s bold color choices and graphic elements have their origins in her childhood upbringing in the southwestern United States. Jacqueline’s love of travel has brought new awareness and depth to her art; and nature, particularly the mountains, coastline and especially the change in seasons, provides abundant inspiration to the artist.

Jacqueline holds a degree in graphic design with a minor in fine art from Middle Tennessee State University near Nashville. She is represented by galleries around the country and has shown in solo and group exhibitions. Jacqueline’s work has received nationwide recognition and is continually sought out by collectors. Her studio is located in metro Atlanta.
