Jacqueline Oster was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens. A graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology she worked in the city for various advertising agencies as a Graphic Designer and Art Director. Eventually relocating to upstate New York, she raised a family and continued to work as a Freelance Graphic Designer. Over the years, from her home-based studio, she has continued to satisfy the advertising needs of many diversified tri-state area clients. During COVID she revisited her love of watercolor illustration. Her watercolors are mostly of ordinary common objects but also cover other categories bringing animals, nature and people to life on paper. Her sculpture is a magical fantasy journey of the mind as creatures and elf-like children happily co-exist. Jacqueline is an Active Member of Woodstock Artist Association and Museum, Create Council on the Arts, a member of AMH and a part of CIRCLE24collective.. Her work has been exhibited at local businesses, libraries and galleries including WAAM Gallery, ASK Gallery, Emerge Gallery, Jane Street Art Center, Olive Free Gallery, AMH Gallery, Create Gallery and Cornell Creative Arts Center of Kingston.
