Pine Art Gallery features works by MA student Jackie Carlson

 

Jacqueline“Jackie” Carlson has an artistic streak as wide as a country mile; with scores of framed digital works as vivid and bright as a 150-count Crayola® box, Carlson’s hobby is a relatively new hobby for an artist whose works are so polished.

 

“I took up photography as a hobby only about four years ago,” says Carlson. “My favorite place to shoot is on Lake Superior; my husband and I have a cabin there, and the natural beauty of the landscape and seascape is really inspiring,” Carlson adds.

 

Carlson’s affection for nature is apparent in her works, as many of them feature wild birds and flowers.

 

Carlson’s artistic endeavors are not limited to photography; Carlson is a member of the Burnett Area Arts Group (BAAG) Art Center in Siren, Wisc. and recently dabbled in fabric-dyeing. Starting with white linen, Carlson explains that artists are able to get creative with colors and make pillows and scarves, and use dyed pieces for quilting and décor.

 

A student in the medical assistant A.A.S. program, Carlson started her academic career at Pine Technical College in June, 2010. Previously, Carlson worked in an ophthalmology clinic and decided to return to college for a degree in a field aligned with her medical-service background. An empty nester, Carlson resides in Grantsburg, Wisc. with her husband and her 115 lb. Alaskan malamute, Meeko.

 

You can see a few of Carlson’s photography pieces on display now through May, 2013. The exhibit, affectionately called the Pine Art Gallery, features works of original art created by established and/or emerging artists from the Pine Area, embracing the talent and creativity of PTC students, staff, faculty, and the larger Pine community. The works featured change seasonally, and many kinds of artworks are showcased including paintings, photographs, pottery, sculptures, sketches, wood carvings and more. If you are an artist from the Pine Area and wish to exhibit your works, see the Pine Technical College Director of Marketing Director in Student Affairs.
