Jacqueline R Baldini
Jacqueline R. Baldini was born in New York in 1949 and has lived and
worked in Niagara Falls Canada for the past 16 years.
From a very young age Jacqueline would spend her lunch hours in the
Munson Williams Proctor Institute Museum while other children were
on the playground. She was more interested in art and books and was
fascinated by Thomas Cole, a nineteenth century American artist who is
considered to be the founder of an art movement concerned with the
realistic and detailed portrayal of nature. At the age of 10 her parents
sent her to the Munson Williams Proctor School of Art where she spent
evenings and Saturdays morning engrossed in the arts.
She is the Executive Director, Signature Member, and Founder of
International Plein Air Painters. She organized the first International
Worldwide Paint Out for Plein Air Painters in 2003. Jacqueline holds the
degree of Master of Photography, earned for the excellence of prints in
international competitions and educational achievements, from
Professional Photographers of America and a Craftsman degree earned
by publishing articles, teaching workshops, and presenting educational
programs to other professionals.
Jacqueline has been a plein air painter for over 30 years and currently
instructs workshops in several countries. She is represented at several
galleries including Niagara Fine Arts in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and John
Turchin Art Gallery in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Her paintings and
articles have appeared in several artists and professional magazines.
