Listen to Jacqueline Decker discuss her art practice and how community and family have inspired her work with fellow artist David Jackson. Free to attend.

Featuring two separate but connected collections, "We Are More" showcases Jacqueline Decker’s extraordinary breadth of artwork, from the endearing children’s literature illustrations of Foxtails to the representational and abstract paintings inspired by her great-grandmother’s hand-made quilts. Ms. Decker’s wide range of innovative work weaves together themes of creativity, innovation, courage and resilience and reminds us of the power of being in community.

In Jackie’s words, “At their core, these paintings are about community. The title "We Are More" speaks to the comfort of belonging. What starts as threads – cloth, memory, story, and paint – create something warmer and more complete when woven together. Pieces, when brought together with care, respect, and intention, become something stronger, more meaningful, and more whole.”

Jacqueline Decker lives in a former church nestled in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut. Her art studio is in the choir loft and features two beautiful stained glass windows which brighten up even the grayest day.

Jacqueline is known for creating fresh, dynamic collections for home decor, tabletop, social expressions, and gift industries. Her collections include a wide array of themes ranging from sophisticated botanicals to nostalgic seasonal imagery to endearing juvenile collections. Jacqueline is a Professor of Fine Art and the Program Coordinator for the Visual Fine Arts and Photography program at Tunxis Community College. She is also a faculty member for Hartford Art School’s Master of Fine Arts in Illustration program.
