Jacqueline
Webster has been creating photographic works for more than 25
years. Private photography lessons and high school video art classes
led to a summer at the New York State Summer School of the Media
Arts, college-level coursework at Rochester Institute of Technology
in non-silver photo processes, and a scholarship to attend the
Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned a Bachelor
of Fine Arts in video and completed coursework in photography.
Her training in the technical aspects and aesthetics of video
production continues to inform her work, which often includes
a strong formal sense of composition combined with a pride of
craftsmanship.
A child of the suburbs, she has always been fascinated by the
landscapes and architecture of both city and country, and this
is evident even in her earliest works. As an adult, Jacqueline
continues to explore the meaning and qualities that make these
spaces unique and document her intimate vision of them. After
nearly losing her vision in one eye in 2006, Jacqueline taught
herself to both use a camera and see in three dimensions after
a series of eye surgeries spanning three years. This experience
led her to be more cognizant of visual textures, how they are
expressed in the photographic print, and to rededicate herself
to historic photographic processes.
Jacqueline
is currently a member of the new 40West Arts District and a volunteer
with the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, both in Lakewood,
Colorado. Her works can be found in both public and private collections
around the United States.
