She earned a BFA, MA, and MFA in fine arts, and taught at the University of Louisville and Indiana University Southeast. For nearly 10 years, Jacque exhibited and mentored young artists at Liberty Gallery in Louisville, KY. She has exhibited her own work throughout the United States, Germany, and Mexico. Her work has received several awards, and can be seen in many private, corporate, and museum collections.
