Jackie Tyree is an artist of exceptional ability who paints mostly in the San Diego, California area.  She is a member of the San Diego Art Guild and displays her art at the Off Track Gallery at 500 Second Street, Encinitas, California 92024.  The Gallery is open daily from 11am to 5pm.  

Jacqueline Tyree grew up in Stockton, California  where she attended Stockton High School and went on to the University of  the Pacific.  She has been a benefactor to many worthwhile organizations and has been the recipient of numerous honors.

As a young school girl in Stockton, she won several awards for her youthful endeavors at art.  One imaginative painting was exhibited in the 1939 San Francisco World's Fair.

Miniatures have presented only one of many challenges to her.  She is well known for painting water studies and seascapes.  She also is a watercolorist and studied with a dear friend, Robert Landry.  Seascapes are high on her list to do.  Jackie loves the water and all its moods.  "Painting is somewhat like fishing" she states, "It's the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable."

For many years, Jackie studied and painted Southern California seascapes with Thelma S. Houston.

Jackie has painted many subjects, but fell in love with the sea, as you can see by her work displayed in our gallery.
