Jacobs paintings encourage a sense of perceived mysteriousness.  Through the textured surfaces and build up of glazes, one experiences a greater illusion of transparency and translucency of the surface than is generally developed in acrylic medium.  Her paintings are somewhat liquid and metamorphic, at once a landscape, immersed in plains of colour abstractions... modalities difficult to identify.

Jacobs recent works are embodied with a gathering silence, thought provoking and contemplative.  Veils of colour are scumbled over one another -- cool over warm, warm over cool, dark over light and light over dark, until the final illusion of a soft, deep surface appears.

Jacobs art education spans three decades -- Florida State University; Maryland School of Art and Design, New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts; and the Mississippi Art Colony, and she has enjoyed countless public and private exhibitions and awards.
