Jackey Raye is a multi faceted creative energy.
Jackey Raye began her art career with high end hand painted custom silk clothing. She ran her own hand painted clothing business until 1990 when she opened a Faux Finish business where she worked with clients in their homes creating comfortable environments with beautiful custom wall treatments and colors. In 2009, Jackey began exploring her own art and has marketed her work to the public in a variety of venues, including restaurants, galleries and on line.
“My interest in the environment, in giving new life to cast offs and uncovering the layers of meaning through symbolism, have all culminated in my newest Art Form. I re use old cabinets or drawer faces, window frames, or doors which I cut into panels. I add color and work with oil stains to add interest to the character of the wood and then add a raised tinted plaster finish to the panel center. The plaster then becomes the surface that I paint my art design on while the wood door or window becomes the frame around it.
My designs are inspired by personal history, symbolism and spirituality. My work is a journey through which I’m discovering connection to others who identify with, and relate my work to their own life experiences.”
I greatly appreciate this opportunity to offer the various interpretations of my work to you in a way that allows me to add new work as quickly as my fertile mind can conceive it and my hands can create it. In addition to this work, my career encompasses pop culture, writing and public appearances in relation to my (and my family's) role in "The Worst Movie Ever Made. www.debbiesmanos.blogspot.com .
