Sea Turtles in September!

"She Turtle"

This summer I was blessed with the honor of witnessing a sea turtle hatching (boil)!  It was truly an amazing sight and moving experience!  Witnessing a hatching and watching baby sea turtles make their way to the ocean has been on my bucket list for years.  I am overjoyed to have finally seen this miracle of nature.  In honor of this awe inspiring event, I am releasing a limited quantity of sea turtle art prints this September!  

Prints will be made from my original 24” x 24” “She Turtle” painting. The price for each 8” x 8” signed print is $45.  In an effort to assist with the continued protection of these magnificent creatures I will donate 10% of the total proceeds to N.E.S.T. (Network for Endangered Sea Turtles) the organization I had the pleasure of nest sitting with this summer.  

"Let's Flood Texas with LOVE!" Art for Hurricane Relief!

I am a mixed media artist from Virginia whose heart is breaking with each new photo and update of the flooding in Texas due to Hurricane Harvey.  My family and I were in North Carolina for Hurricane Matthew last fall and though we experienced major flooding and power outages it was no where near as catastrophic as what’s going on in Texas right now.

I am coordinating an online art auction to benefit the victims of Hurricane Harvey.  I am reaching out to artists near and far who have an interest in humanity and helping others.  I would be honored if you would participate in this heartfelt project.  I am asking each artist to donate one signed original work of art.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.  Shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer and can be paid directly to the artist.  Please let me know if you are interested in participating either as an artist or a bidder as soon as possible by emailing me at jackietury@gmail.com.  Once I’ve heard back from you, I will email instructions to artists for uploading an image of your artwork, link to your website, etc. and instructions to buyers for bidding in the auction.

Let’s flood Texas with love and weather the storm together!

Much love and thanks,

Jackie

Great day in the Studio!

I LOVE to paint!!!  I cannot even begin to tell you how happy painting makes me!  Today has been a great day in the studio working on some abstract beachscapes based on my recent road trip!  Hope you enjoy!

Go with the FLOW!

Go with the FLOW!

Had such a great time teaching my Go with the FLOW! art workshop last night! Special thanks to all the wonderful women who came out to join me and to my daughter Zoe for taking photos!  This paint pour workshop was the perfect way to illustrate the importance of letting go and going with the FLOW!  The process was fun and the transformation and results were beautiful and amazing, just like the women who joined me!

Lemons and Lavender!

Thought I would share these two new paintings inspired by my recent visit to a beautiful lavender farm!  I love the sight and scent of lemons and lavender!  What a great way to spend a summer day!  Soaking in the sunshine and the soothing scent of lavender while sipping sweet lavender lemonade and hand-picking these gorgeous aromatic purple blooms!  Both lemons and lavender evoke the spirit of summer for me.  Lemons shout bright, clean, crisp, citrus delight and lavender whispers relaxing, lazy days and magical nights.

"Lemons" - 16" x 20"

"Lavender"- 16" x 20"

If you are interested in purchasing one (or both) of these original paintings or ordering prints, please email me at: jackietury@gmail.com!  Paintings are 16” x 20” and are $150 each or $275 for the set.

From MIA to Moving Forward! Lots happening behind the scenes!

I may have been MIA on the blog lately, but LOTS has been going on behind the scenes!  

Here is a quick update and shout out to all my friends!  

The most recent news is that I've just completed my life coach training and am now a certified professional life coach!!!  Check back soon to see how I am integrating this new dimension into my practice and my artful offerings!  I love my tribe of fellow coaches!  They are all such passionate, positive people doing great things in the world!

I recently completed another wave of beach paintings!  These original artworks will be heading to OBX shops soon!  If you want to catch one before they're gone, send me an email!

I had the pleasure of creating some commissioned artwork for a childhood friend who is chasing her dream of producing a solo album at age 50!  April is a talented musician and songwriter.  Her album is called "Second Chances" and you can check it out here aprilkmusic.  April wanted a dragonfly for the album cover and poster.  She asked several artists to create works inspired by her songs and lyrics. The top right piece was created for the song "Sunless Sky" and the bottom right for "Old Love." I'm so excited to be part of April's adventure and help her launch her dream!

Another friend recently hired me to lead an art project at her daughter's birthday party! What a fun and inspiring day with these young artists!

Yet another friend hired me to host an art party for her girl scout troop!  Loved painting with these amazing teens which included my own daughter and her friends!

Though I may not have kept up with my blog or social media this last month or so,  I have been busy teaching, learning, sharing, painting and spending time with family!  All pretty important stuff in my book.  More changes to come this summer as I move forward!  Please check back often for new artwork and offerings!
