Jacqueline Kamin, Biography

Jacqueline Kamin describes the process of painting a still life as “one of assembling pieces of a puzzle that expressed a concept about the light, form and intrigue inherent in beautiful objects.” Jacqueline is a master of this particular puzzle. Most well known for her still life paintings, Jacqueline also paints seductive tonal landscapes rooted in her eastern background. As saturated as the pigment used for the fruit, flowers and objects in the still life paintings the landscapes have the soft, layered, glazed luminosity used by painters working in the early part of the 20th century.
Born in 1950 in Washington, D.C., Jacqueline Kamin received her formal art education from the Corcoran Museum School in her native town, and later attended the Art Students League and the Sculpture Studio, both in New York City.
Some of her many awards include, first place in the landscape category presented by the Coastline Community in 1992, an honorable mention from the California Art Club 89th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition, First Place for Still Life at the 3rd Annual California Autumn Salon, 2002 and an honorable mention from the' Sights of Santa Ana Invitational' held at the Bowers Museum in 2004.
Recent exhibits include: The Annual California Autumn Salon in Beverly Hills , The 23rd Annual Juried Non-Members Exhibition at The Salmagundi Club, NYC, America's oldest art club, leading to her membership; and the 92nd Annual California Art Club Exhibition at the Pasadena Historical Museum . Jacqueline teaches at workshops run by the Academy of Figurative Art in Los Angeles, and in 2006 was included in the Art Competition and Exhibition sponsored by the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, where she won the Juror's Choice Award.
Jacqueline Kamin is a member of the Oil Painters of America, the California Art Club, where she serves on the Board of Advisors, and the Salmagundi Club.
“An artist's work is to reflect the culture of his time, and so creating a conversation with the viewer is my personal goal. I believe that creating art enables one to make discoveries about the wonder of nature and the dignity and nobility of man. These are given order by art, which enables the viewer to see and understand life with greater depth. Beauty generally results from this order, but is never the primary aim, for not all great painting is beautiful.
I am constantly looking for new relationships among objects, as well as new forms of color. Paintings show us things in our environment that we may overlook or ignore, and I try to make the world around us come alive, as a rich, beautiful and exciting place. My approach to painting owes a debt to the artists who inspired me, especially my friend and mentor, David A. Leffel.”
