STATEMENT

A mixed media painter and a poet, Jacqueline Dee Parker’s work is inspired by the correspondence between these art forms. She views collage as a mode of perception, and finds that it facilitates her exploration of language, history, and ephemera. Her work evolves as a visceral construction of psychic and emotional space.

She holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and a MFA in creative writing/painting and drawing from Louisiana State University.  She has served as an instructor at LSU since 1993, and taught in the Department of English before joining the School of Art in 2003.
