JACKY Oil on Canvas 122 cm w x 91 cm h NFS Artist’s Statement Dr. Jacky Ogeil: internationally-recognized musician, festival organizer, artstic leader and passionate teacher, brings her vivacity and polymath skills to everything she does. Seated here at her Cristofori piano, she pauses in conversation with the viewer before explaining why she believes that a musical education is essential for both physical health and inner happiness. The dress, which I found in a catalogue of eighteenth century dresses, was added after the sittings and the hand and forearm, also added later, belong to my wife. |
