Biographical Information:

Gretchen G. Clasby (aka Gretchen Jackson) (1945- )

Although she never took an art class past grade school, she realized in college that most of her electives were in the arts. Had she not married and started a family, Gretchen is certain she would have earned an art degree. However, it was her mother's encouragement helped Gretchen find ways to express herself through painting and then on to exhibiting at arts and craft shows.

In 1989 she stopped selling at weekend sidewalk shows and turned to inspirational and gift shops for her marketing. Her artwork began appearing on greeting cards and calendars, glassware and tabletop accessories, but she was unsuccessful in her efforts to create a figurine collection.

Gretchen resides in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. She continues to exhibit her fine art at regional shows and one-woman exhibitions nationally and to share her uplifting personal experiences with collectors she meets.
