Groton Dunstable “Spring into the ARTS” Fundraiser

Posted on March 14, 2011 by jacqui hawk

“Art can be a powerful healing tool. I am passionate about children being able to access the arts, whether that be visual art, musical or performing. The arts can coax the invisible out of a child, give them a new voice and make them visible” – Jacqui Hawk

With this in mind, I am delighted to be supporting Groton Dunstable ARTS Program this year by donating my much loved Nine Moons in a Scarlet Sky painting. 

This painting is Acrylic and Gesso, 20 x 30.  You will be able to bid on this painting at the Silent Auction which will be part of the Fundraising Event at Groton Dunstable High School on April 1st from 6 – 10pm.  The sister painting (Ten Moons) sold for $700, so this is your chance to get a gem for a bargain 🙂

It will be a memorable event with dinner & dessert catered by: Filho’s Cucina and Main Street Café of Groton.

Entertainment will be provided by : Blue Taxi – a jazz/blues combo featuring John Wiesner & friends, The GDRHS Chamber Choir and Jazz Band, and Drama Guild

Silent Auction of artwork donated by local artists, music lessons, and a variety of other items

All proceeds support the arts programs at GDRHS

Tickets can also be purchased at Main Street Cafe, Blackbird Cafe
 and The Convenient Mann

Lawrence Library Gallery Art Reception Great Success !!!

Posted on February 14, 2011 by jacqui hawk

Thank you to all my friends, family and visitors who supported me at my Art Reception this weekend at the Lawrence Library Art Gallery in Pepperell MA.  I was on cloud nine after selling nine paintings 🙂 !!!!!! My new Aquatic Journey pieces were a huge hit as were my new “Red Oak” oils.

The Gallery at the Lawrence Library is so beautiful and unique.  The architects were Ernest Flagg and W.B. Chambers who are known for designing the Washington state capitol building; Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; the Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland; St. Luke’s Hospital, NYC and many others.

The Library is also home to Sidney M. Shattuck’s (1876-1917) personal collection of 110 local birds, all carefully mounted and labeled and on permanent display at the Library.  Definitely worth a visit !!

Longfellow's Wayside Inn

Very excited to learn that my paintings “Love Story” (dedicated to Longfellow’s Ancient Oak Trees immortalized in his Tales of the Wayside Inn”) and “Wayside Inn”, have been published on the wonderful Howetavern.com website.   Brian Plumb has done a magnificent job of carefully and lovingly detailing the  story of the Wayside Inn from it’s humble beginnings.

“Breaking All the Rules” – Art Exhibit

Very excited : I have been invited by Lawrence Library Gallery to be their February Artist of the Month. The exhibit will run from February 12 until March 8.

As it is the month of Love, I’ll be showcasing some new additions to my HEARTS collection and also some new pieces in my Aquatic Journey Series.

I’m calling it “Breaking All the Rules”… my art is always in flux and takes me in so many directions.

Please join me at the Artist Reception on Saturday 12 February from noon to 2pm. I am delighted that Christine Kennedy will be joining me to play her beautiful classical music. Light refreshments will be served.

Life is short, Break the rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly.

And never regret anything
That makes you smile.”

New Artwork – “Which Side ?”

Posted on December 28, 2010 by jacqui hawk

I tried very hard not to paint another tree…. before long I really will be called Tree Lady ! But there is something so alluring and soulful about trees which draws me in again and again… They are the connection between heaven and earth.  I wish I could see beneath the earth and view what I can only imagine to be an amazing root system.  We have all been the roots… trying to find our way from dark into light…….
