Jacqueline Lorieo

Jacqueline Lorieo was born in Elmira, New York. A former resident of Larchmont, she is currently living in Yonkers with her husband. Lorieo is a sculptor, medallist and an occupational therapist. She has exhibited in numerous shows in The United States and abroad including The War Museum in Canada, The Hungarian National Museum, The Museum Beelden aan Zee, The Netherlands, The Neuchatel Museum of Art and History in Switzerland and The Museum of Medallic Art in Poland. She has work in prestigious public and private collections including The British Museum, The American Numismatic Society, St. Lukes-Roosevelt Medical Center, Helen Hayes Hospital, Gaylord Hospital and The Austin Center.

This is what she says about her work:

"My medical background influences the form and themes of my art. The work is beautiful, feminine, nurturing and powerful. I have incorporated the universal themes of humanity and science into the bronzes, my large wooden torsos, and small handheld medals. I feel each piece provides a small window to my soul for the viewer."
