jackie atkins design is a chronology of the works by Jackie Atkins over time. Jackie attended Elizabethtown College for her BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Art. After a career as an elementary teacher, reading specialist, and staff developer, she returned to her love of art. She works in acrylics on stretched canvas, canvas board, cradled wood panels, and with watercolor on hot press, cold press, and rough press papers. In addition Jackie creates jewelry with silver, copper, and brass wire, sea glass, shells, and sea pebbles. Her jewelry is created by cold forging and wire wrapping.
Jackie’s inspiration is the East Coast shoreline of the United States from Maine to Florida. Most of her works are based in Maine, Cape Cod, Rhode Island, Long Island, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The most current works are from Fenwick Island, Delaware where she now has a home overlooking the salt marsh wetlands of Little Assawoman Bay. Here she can view and paint white-tailed deer, foxes, ospreys, great egrets, great blue herons, snowy egrets, red winged blackbirds, kingfishers, mallard ducks, and Canada geese. The sun and moon rise over the bay and can be viewed from her house and thus become subjects of her painting.
