I can't believe I have been making and teaching art since 2001!

I am so grateful for each and every client I have had the honor of making art for...thank you!
Whether it is teaching, art commissions or art services, I take great pride in my work and LOVE to hear my clients are happy. 

Praise for Jackie!

Thank you for putting on that art Workshop.
It was my 1st time and I was self-conscious and nervous. Once you made it clear that it wasn't going to be a technical class and it was just to learn how to relax with something in your hand, I relaxed.  It turned out to be more fun than anything and I got a lot out of it! Looking forward to doing the next one... My poetry was much worse than my painting, Jackie thank you for opening the door for me

For me, the whole point wasn't really about the art.  Rather, it was about taking a chance on something completely foreign and scary to me.  I tend to be a procrastinator and a perfectionist.  My time with Jackie helped me to realize that it is most important to START -- especially with a new, big or scary project.  And, it is important to FINISH -- whether or not I think the job is "done" or "good enough".  Jackie also helped me to realize that it is important to simply jump into the work, and see it thru to a timely conclusion.

Jackie is truly a gifted artist with heart AND soul. After our dog Oliver passed, I really wanted a work of art to celebrate his life. Jackie was very professional and wanted lots of pictures and information to get a sense of what a truly special being Oliver was. She captured his essence beautifully, and I give her my highest praise and recommendation. She loves what she does, and the passion comes out in the art. Thank you Jackie!

My girlfriend and I came to the art and poetry session with Jackie and it was really fun! The sense of community and the outlet of artistry was inspiring and exciting.  I got to learn more about my friends that also attended and it was just a blast all the way around! Jackie is made to do this work!  Thank you for sharing your craft with us, Jackie! πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

I’ve had Jackie draw two portraits for me of my fur babies that have passed. The portraits are beautiful memorials. I asked her to draw them from pictures I had given her and they are exactly what I wanted. Thank You for giving me such a special reminder of my babies. It makes me smile everyday when I look at them. ❀️

Jackie did an excellent job on the chalk mural in our home. We wanted something new and fresh given the holidays were over. She put together an incredible Olympics composition that far exceeded our expectations. I’d absolutely recommend her for any mural needs!

Jackie did a wonderful mural for us at The Blue Line. She would come in at lunch time and paint while our customers were eating. What a great conversational idea. She was very professional and her art is fantastic! Would highly recommend her

Jordan M. C.E.O~Metro PCS

Jackie painted a mural on the outside of my business. She was a pleasure to deal with (just a very nice lady), but also extremely professional (on time, high quality work, ready and willing to touch up if needed). A+ for Jackie, thank you from me and my team.

Mr. Buffalo review: So far, all of Jackie’s art I have experienced has evoked in me an emotional response I didn’t even realize was there, mountainscape awe, patriotism, and then the buffalo. The moment I witnessed/felt/identified with it, I knew it was for me. This will reside on my wall with all of the other items that bring me joy! Grateful to have a piece to remind me of the absolute struggle/battle of this past year, and marks an end to it in which I am battle-worn, ragged, and weary, yet still standing strong!!

Jackie's creativity and attention to detail made my experience with this art project so memorable and sets a new bar of expectations for my next mural project. I highly recommend her for this and other project management services.

Mary L.~Mother

In 2014 I commissioned Jackie to sketch a drawing of a picture of my sons. It was intended to be a gift to our older son in remembrance of his younger brother who had passed away a few years prior. We only had a 4 x 6 picture that we could give to Jackie to work from, but I was very impressed by the amount of detail in the sketch. She brought the picture to life and gave us back a wonderful memory. She was very thoughtful and considerate in wanting some additional info on our boys so that she could understand their personalities and their close relationship. Her drawing will be a treasure for us forever. I would recommend her work to everyone

Wendy Lee.~Engineer

Jackie is an amazing artist. She did an incredible portrait of my dogs that I will always treasure. She captured them and their unique personalities

Matt M.~Musician & Father

Just sat down and had my first session with Jackie and WOW I am so inspired!! Feeling very hopeful about the future, and looking forward to getting into this new discipline or perseverance!

Chad H.~Chemist

Jackie is a talented artist who is in love with her creative process. I have had the privilege to witness her take empty canvas, empty paper, and empty walls and pour her heart and soul out onto them over days and weeks to create beautiful works of art. Understanding how much it means to her to create her art, knowing how much of her heart is in them, adds depth to the beauty I see in them. Of all the medias I’ve seen her use (acrylic, pastels, and ink) I personally like her ink paintings the best. They are striking and uniquely Jackie. In them she seems able to capture the beauty, elegance, and innate value of simple objects that we might otherwise take for granted.

Tyler C.~Business owner

Jackie’s work is absolutely amazing! She has done 5 different animals, and some murals work at my office over the years. Her attention to detail & need to capture the animal’s spirit is something that sets her apart.

Clarissa K.~Jewelry Maker
Jackie Grawe has an incredible gift from God. She sees art in everyday life. Creating master pieces is a blessing. Ask Jackie what inspires her...😊

Excellent experience! Jackie was very knowledgeable about the location and a very interesting person. The hike itself was pretty awesome because it offered great terrain and great scenic views of Denver and Boulder and of course the hike wasn't too difficult or too easy. Overall a great experience.

Thank you so much Jackie, I had such a wonderful time. You are a fantastic instructor!

Tony DeMartile.~Hairstylist

Jackie is awesome! She is a legitimate soulful artist sharing the sweet joys of making art while relaxing on vacation. I adore her grace and knowledge of crafting a beautiful landscape. She is supportive and validating every step of the way. If you are looking for something cool to do, Jackie will make you feel at ease and capable to create a masterpiece!
