The Watercolor Gallery of Laguna Beach

Jacquie Moffett

     Jacquie Moffett is a shining example of today's "total woman" concept.  Wife, mother, and homemaker in her artfully decorated, gallery-like home, she is recognized as an organizer, actress and artist.  She was introduced to art by her father who sketched, designed the family Christmas cards and worked in pastels.  With him, she visited the Festival of Arts when she was a girl, and decided then that she wished to be a participant when she grew up. 

     After receiving her BA from Whittier College, Jacquie began a teaching career.  Fascinated by a film illustrating Rex Brandt's watercolor techniques, she signed up for Brandt's summer workshops.  There, in addition to Brandt, she studied with George Post, Barse Miller and Joan Irving (Brandt's wife).  Over the years Jacquie has continued her pursuit of excellence by taking printmaking classes and watercolor classes from highly regarded artists such as Serisawa and Roger Armstrong.  Today she shows watercolors, etchings and unique watercolor-collage combinations.

     Jacquie's landscapes are characterized by clarity of color and subject and remarkable illusion of depth and space.  Fascinated by architecture, she focuses on unusual buildings, towers, windows and roofs.  Winner of numerous awards, her works are included in exhibitions and private collections throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Japan.
