Jacqueline Brockway
“A Late Bloomer”
Feb. 13th - Mar. 26th, 2005
Beaverton Lodge resident artist, Jacqueline Brockway, is a native Oregonian. Her career started as a Home Economics teacher, but with the advent of World War II, she enlisted in the American Red Cross as a recreation worker. She served in Algeria and Morocco, meeting her husband during this time. They began raising two children in Hartford, Connecticut, and returned to Eugene, Oregon in 1951.
After her husband died in 1963, Jacqueline went on to obtain a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and worked for the V.A. in Honolulu, Hawaii, and in private practice. 
Although she has been interested in drawing and painting since childhood, she did not discover herself as an artist until she fell in love with transparent watercolor painting at the age of 72. Since, she has studied in Greece and Switzerland, painting experiences which give her landscape paintings an international appeal. She is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, Oregon Society of Artists and the Village Gallery.
"I feel very lucky to have found an interest and challenge for this stage of my life… I am especially fortunate to have found a residence that encourages artistic expression and gives me this wonderful opportunity and reward."
