Jacqueline W. Nuzzo is a designer and fine artist working in printmaking, drawing, and textiles.
With six years of experience under her belt, Jacqueline has worked with hospitality, residential and interior design clients within the art consulting industry. She has proven experience leading a creative team and thrives in creative direction, team building and management.
As an artist, Jacqueline's research is based in the fields of perception and pattern. As part of her MFA degree, she published her written thesis "Patterns of Disruption: Repetitiona and Originality" through The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This research is connected to her own artistic practice that uses the grid as a visual motif and a system of organization, investigating repetition via the grid from art historical, philosophical, and psychological frameworks.
Jacqueline W. Nuzzo graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2024 with an MFA in Printmedia, and St. Olaf College in 2017 with a BA in Studio Art and Biology.
