| Madeleine
Jacobs . . . Capturing the Essence of
The American West |
|||||||||||||
| Per
Madeleine . . . "I've spent a lot of time photographing and painting the
familiar things around me including my children. Much of the wildlife I
love so much was actually in my 'backyard', which included deer in my rosebushes!
My art career was put on hold for many years while I raised 4 boys but
that was an advantage in itself. In fact, I used my youngest son, Tyler,
for a model so often that he would sigh, stick out his hand and say,
"Only
if you pay me, mom!"
Art is a personal thing, in a way. It's an expression in itself of what the artist feels and believes; but it becomes a public expression...a celebration of life....when it's finished and the artist allows the world to share the view. Imagine a world without art----I can't. I currently live in South Dakota in between the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indian reservations and continue to paint western life as I love to see it. While most of my work is in the western and wildlife genre, I especially love to paint children! During the spring and summer months, I'm often on the road traveling to shows in various states. My work is available in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, South Dakota and Washington state galleries as well as in Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Utah, Tennesee, Washington, Montata, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona gift shops." In addition to creating her own work, Madeleine also founded the Artists Gallery Club to unite artists on the web, has developed two newsletters for the artistic community and also teaches online art classes.
