In her classes, Jacqueline emphasizes experimentation. She is known for venturing into the unknown and creating new techniques to share with her students. She specializes in creating unique textures and metallic surfaces with acrylic media. For calligraphers, she teaches how to combine collage elements and textural and metallic media with letterforms. Students are always encouraged to "play" and to "push" materials to find their own unique style and techniques. These techniques are then refined, documented and utilized within the context of sound composition. The challenge is always to create and refine.
