"I continually see things that inspire my paintings. My background as a graphic designer gives me a good sense of design which is the basis necessary for any work of art. This is what truly engages the viewer immediately - the overall design.
"What I try to achieve in each of my paintings is to fill them with color, tackle a variety of subjects and capture an action or an uplifting moment."

Jackie Liddell, NSA
From the time I could hold a crayon, I wanted to express myself visually. I was born and grew up in Houston where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education from the University of Houston and a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Houston, Clear Lake. I am both a practicing artist and an art teacher. My favorite painting medium is transparent watercolor. I worked as a high school art teacher for twenty seven years, nineteen of which were in the Clear Creek School District. During those years I was rewarded with numerous honors from the Space Center’s Rotary Club, the Mayor of Houston’s Excellency Award in Teaching, , Who’s Who in Education in America, and the Region IV of Texas Secondary Teacher of the Year for the Clear Creek District in 2002.
In 2002, I retired from CCISD. I’ve enjoyed participating in numerous community and charity projects involving art and on boards for Art Associations. For the last seven years, I have enjoyed teaching drawing as an adjunct instructor at the University of Houston, Clear Lake. I am a signature member of art societies including the National Society of Artists, and my paintings have won top awards in numerous juried local and international shows. This spring I was honored as one of Texas’ best painters by being selected as a finalist for the prestigious Hunting Art Prize.
My work is shown at
The Arts Alliance Center at Clear Lake, the Watercolor Art Society -
