Artist Statement
“The principles of true art is not to portray, but to evoke”-Jerzy Kosinski
“My intent is for my art to elicit a conversation with the viewer. My canvases capture moments of daily life that are often forgotten, ignored or too painful to remember. Vivid colors, strong brushstrokes and edgy lines elevate these moments into what could be defined as beautiful confrontations that invite the viewer to face these feelings in himself.”
-Jacqueline Fiore
Jackie Fiore is an artist. For 36 years she taught and integrated all forms of the arts into her curriculum. She was a part of the startup team for the first alternative high school in N.Y.C. (E. A. R. West Side H.S.) and helped to give that school its unique character by creating many partnerships with museums and cultural centers. This includes the opportunity she and her students had to work with the New York Metropolitan Opera. They viewed a production in process of Phillip Glass’s Satyagraha. She and her students then created their own operetta, where she acted as producer and art director. For one student, Carven Lissaint, who was involved not only in the performance but also in the writing of the operetta, this changed his life. He went on to earn his doctorate in Drama and is presently playing the role of George Washington on Broadway in the play Hamilton.
