The following information was submitted by the : 

The Franklin Lakes Library is excited to have local artist, Jacqueline Collier, exhibiting during the month of April in the library gallery.

Born in New York City, Jacqueline Collier has been a resident of Teaneck for more than 25 years. Her interest in art started early in her childhood. She always enjoyed painting, and she has always had a love of nature and a desire to express the feelings that it evokes through her art. Jacqueline is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where her goal was fashion-illustration. However, she took a different turn towards early childhood education. She received her bachelor's degree from Herbert H. Lehman College, and her master's degree from the College of New Rochelle in Special Education.
