Jacqueline Boyd

Jacqueline Boyd is an American artist working in mixed media and works on paper, represented by Stanek Gallery. Her practice is built through an intuitive and evolving process that combines reworked collages on watercolor paper, hand-cut forms, graphite, acrylic, colored pencil, ink and layered, painted Japanese washi papers, often mounted on cradled panels. In her "Ephemeral" series, she uses handmade stencils created from botanical elements gathered in her own garden, and fragments of handwritten words drawn from personal and familial histories emerge within richly textured surfaces. The series considers the nature of creation itself, in which every mark and decision exists only once before passing into memory, while the finished work holds those moments with quiet permanence. Her exhibition "In the Making," presented through Stanek Gallery's Outside the Box program, marked the debut of the "Ephemeral" series.
