Jackie was born and raised in Southern California and retired to the Ozarks with her husband in 2004.  It was only then - with the purchase of a small, digital point and shoot camera -  that she took up photography.  Since then, she has developed a passion for the beauty that surrounds us.  Jackie and her husband, Ed have driven over 50,000 miles, crisscrossing the country - and have taken every opportunity to see and photograph nature's bounty.

Jackie's photography consists of a wide variety of subjects.  Images taken across the country chronicle the many road trips taken; then there are her abstracts, the many wonderful sights seen in the Ozarks,  local landscapes and waterscapes, and so much more.
