Jacqui Binford-Bell
Jacqui Binford-Bell first moved to New Mexico with her parents in 1951. She attended high school and college in Albuquerque, graduating from the University of New Mexico in 1969. She has lived and worked throughout the United States following graduation, and returned to northern New Mexico in 1989 to pursue her love of photography, theatrical design, and watercolor painting.
For 15 years she designed and made Mardi Gras Masks which she sold under Lunacy Limited LLC. In 2006 Jacqui returned to her love of water color painting with much success. She won first place for mixed media in the second exhibit she entered. Building literally on her successes with painting, Jacqui has added a studio/gallery addition to her home in Black Lake and become part of the Artist Vistas and Treasures Art Tour. In the last year she has begun to explore the possibilities of her long standing hobby of photography which was previously an adjunct to her paintings.
