Jaqui Delclos - Artist's Statement

As a child, my two favorite things were reading and drawing. I was very lucky to have had a high school art teacher that encouraged me to pursue a career in art. How lucky I am to so thoroughly enjoy the process of making art.

Over the years I have experimented with different mediums and now work primarily in oil, watercolor, and pastel. Oil painting will always be my first love as I enjoy the versatility of the medium. My subject matter is varied and lately I have done a lot of commission work.

Landscapes, still lives, florals ,and portraits compose the main body of work. A true love of color guides me through the creative process.

My great satisfaction is to share my work with others and be able to bring artistic expression into their lives.
