Jacqueline DeGavia's tranquil watercolors & oil landscapes reflect her childhood in the Canadian North Woods. A working artist for most of her adult life, she finds special joy in watercolor & oil landscapes, especially of the Pacific Northwest. She holds a Master's degree in Adult Education and taught for many years with special needs students. To encourage others to "Echo Their Magic," she wrote a booklet called "Creating Simply: Create a Painting in Three Easy Steps." It is available for purchase along with her paintings and note cards.

What People Say About Jacqueline...
I am fortunate to work with some terrific folks. Some take the time to say a few words about me I wanted to share:As an artist and teacher she is inspirational, talented and creative. Always supportive and encouraging, she is a compassionate, highly focused problem solver who takes action without hesitation. I trust Jacqueline implicitely and recommend her without hestiation.

"I had my husband, David who won first place in the derby, pick me out the watercolor of the Lower Skagit - it is so beautiful and hanging in my living room here in Seattle."
