Contemporary artist, Jacquelyn Fox, will be a featured artist at the "Spring Art Reception" for the Allied Artists Of The Santa Monica Mountains & Seashore.

The interpretive nature of her work creates a sense of intimate nostalgia with the viewer. Her vibrant Acrylic Landscapes, Florals, and Still Lifes hang in private collections throughout the country.

A native Californian, she approaches each canvas as she does life − with adventure and exuberance! A colorist who favors restrained texture, her dynamic brush−strokes and gentle palate knife application offer vibrancy, texture, and dimension to the viewer.

Having been a successful photographer and studio owner, her experiences contribute to the focus, clarity, discipline and vision of her paintings today. A member of several art groups including Allied Artists Of The Santa Monica Mountains & Seashore, Jacquelyn paints regularly with

other contemporary artists. "I also love to visit art galleries and museums when time permits," she added. Her travels domestically and abroad inspire and inform her art, while it is in her L.A. studio that the magic happens!

"This year's Spring Art Reception promises to be an exciting event," said Fox. 20 % of all sales will be donated to educational programs.

The reception will be held on Thursday, June 7th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at To Shapiro, Rodarte, & Freedman ~ 233 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 700, Santa Monica. at (310) 319−5400.
