Jacquelyn Bischak is a lifelong artist. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in Life Drawing and Painting from Eastern Michigan University. A large portion of her career has been spent working in advertising, most recently at Leo Burnett Co..  She began painting professionally in 1998 and considers it to be her transition from the "World of Advertising" back to the “World of Fine Art”. 

"I have worked in a number of mediums and genres but my most cherished is figurative.  Learning to paint the human form in oil has been an amazing journey.  No other medium is so well suited for capturing human emotion and giving inspiration.  I will continue to focus on figurative painting; working to improve my technique so that I speak clearly and simply capture moments of beauty, thought, and unity."

Jacquelyn admires and studies the dark, realistic style of turn of the century American masters Frank Duveneck, Joseph DeCamp and Celia Beaux, as well as contemporary artists Richard Schmid, Glenn Harrington and Nancy Guzik.  She has studied the paintings of the masters in museums, galleries and private collections which is the primary influence of her unique style of representational art.  

Recently, Jacquelyn received FineArtView National Competition Awards from jurors Nancy Guzik, Jeremy Lipking, Josh Elliott and Logan Maxwell Hagege.  She is a finalist in the 2010 Raymar's National Fine Art Competition and Oil Painters of America 19th Annual National Juried Fine Art Competition.

"With superb drawing, edges and values, Jacquelyn creates a sensitivity that stops time. What a joy, a powerful joy your creations give me!  I look forward to seeing more."  - Nancy Guzik

Jacquelyn lives on the northern shores of Lake Michigan near Traverse City with her husband, architect Mark Bischak, and their daughter Tatiana.  Her studio overlook the orchards of the Joyfield Valley.  Her distinctive paintings are in numerous private collections and she has an ongoing list of Juried Exhibitions, Awards, Gallery and Museum Shows.
