Reclining Nude Sculpture (1993) Sculpture by Jacqueline Nalett

Jacqueline has been involved with art since the age of 12 with basic art classes and personal drawing, then seriously pursuing painting, drawing and sculpture since high school, minoring in studio art at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. She discovered dance in college and so her BA is in Dance and she teaches jazz, modern and hiphop dance as well as creative movement at the University of Houston and Rice University.She is also a choreographer, writer, beaded jewelry maker and mother of a teenager. She is half-French, half-American, originally from the Washington D.C. area, but has spent most of her life in Texas. Dance has been her primary focus over the last few years and she is now trying to bring her first love of art back into her life in a big way.

Her primary loves are clay sculpting, drawing/sketching with simple ink pens and pencils, and painting with oil and acrylics. She tried printmaking in college and didn't like it because there were too many steps involved in achieving a final product. She enjoys using oil pastels for an occasional project, making sculptures out of found objects, and making collages of all sorts. She makes all sorts of beaded jewelry and is a lover of beaded earrings which she wears all the time. She introduced art to her daughter at a young age and her now 14 year old daughter draws all the time and is becoming quite the comic book artist, her favorite character being Sonic the Hedgehog.
