Jacklyn Downing uses textile art to focus on our universal human connection. Common themes include memory, nature, women's work, and rites of passage. The use of written words and found objects create evocative invocations of myth. This results in wall-hangings, wearable art, and sculpture demonstrating the seen and the unseen “labor” of women, including work done in the home, in the workplace, and in service to the ongoing sustenance of the human race. Jacklyn Downing’s educational background is in graphic design and interior design. She has exhibited in group and solo shows in the United States. Her work has been spotlighted in Berks County Living. Jacklyn collaborates with educators in combining art with a multidisciplinary curriculum to enrich the classroom.
