Artist’s Bio

Sukey Jacobsen is largely a self taught artist, but takes her personal studies very seriously.  She continues to take workshops from some of the most reputable instructors in various media. This provides opportunity for continued growth and insight. She thoroughly embraces discipline, hard work, practice and life long learning.  Currently she is focusing on water media such as watercolor, gouache, acrylic and casein.

Sukey was originally trained as a professional musician and received both BA and MA degrees in early music.  A permanent hand injury forced her to change careers and she obtained an MLS in Library and Information Science and worked for many years as a science and technical research librarian /database designer and developer. 

She is an avid hiker and lover of the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the Skagit Valley in particular.  She chooses most often to represent this splendor in her works.  Her works may be viewed locally in numerous venues and on her website. She wishes to use every experience for continued improvement in her artistic endeavors.
