Born in 1975, Jacki Geary first discovered her artistic proclivity at a very young age. Growing up in Connecticut, she loved drawing portraits of family and friends. She studied art, with a concentration in photography, at Western Connecticut State University, where she earned a bachelor’s of fine art degree and graduated with honors, in addition to winning the Excellence in Photography Award.  Although Jacki took art classes in college, she considers herself a self-taught painter. Her focus is on color, composition and texture. She finds the psychology of abstract expressionism very interesting, as it is a window into an artist’s mind. Jacki has exhibited her paintings in galleries, professional establishments and non-traditional venues.

Recently Jacki was awarded the prestigious "Emerging Artist - Honorable Mention" at the Gaslamp Art Showcase in San Diego. She has sold to private collectors from all over the country and is an active member of Temecula Artist Collective. Currently residing in southern California, Jacki continues to pursue her passion for the arts as a highly sought after painter and professional photographer.
