I’m so glad to know Jackie – one of our grads here in the Art Program at Mizzou – who recently finished her requirements for an MFA in Painting. Originally from Guangzhou, China, Jackie has been here in the US for about 4 years. Here’s an a short piece about her from Vox Magazine and another, longer piece from the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Tonight she (and Jade!) took my family out for Peking Duck at House of Chow. It was amazing!

And here is one of Jackie’s works for which I posed… Right or Left (“Not with that hand, my granddaughter!”) 40 by 32 inches, Pastel on Mi-Tientes Board.

Thanks for the meal, Jackie… and for all the good work!
