Zanatta Editions has collaborated with Jacqueline Bishop on an ongoing basis since 2010, to-date producing works in four distinct mediums -- a large, iconic print “Sonatina” which combines traditional hand-pulled lithography with high-tech digital archival pigment printing; “Out of the Blue,” a linocut (with many of the impressions altered with hand-painting by the artist); “Roses,” an archival pigment print that frames a unique small watercolor; and an extensive group of monotypes that showcase the breadth of the artist’s unique imagery.

Jacqueline Bishop resides in New Orleans and keeps a second studio in Columbia, Mississippi. Bishop was born in Long Beach, California, and grew up in the St. Joseph/Kansas City-area of Missouri. She studied at the University of Kansas before moving to Louisiana and receiving her BA from the University of New Orleans and an MFA from Tulane University. She has also periodically taught at Loyola University and Tulane University, maintaining a high-involvement career within the New Orleans arts community.

Bishop is recognized as one of the “Visionary Imagists” of the contemporary American South. The artist’s paintings, collages and prints reflect her environmental activism. Landscapes and ecological commentaries speak to nature, human impact, and species extinction. Her work has been influenced by travel to third world countries, Latin American forests, Louisiana swamps and polluted Gulf shores.
