About

Weaving the threads of many forms of creative experience: Jacquelyn L. Berl is the creative force behind AscenderRisesAbove©. While working for her Associates of Fine Arts degree in interior design, she was vice president of the student American Society of Interior Designers; spending ten years doing contract and residential perspective renderings/interior design. She then expanded her horizons to that of a graphic and fine artist. Her self-directed efforts won over 65 national and local awards in the areas of graphic design and marketing. She has done a great deal of community work, including contributions of graphic work for several non-profits. She has held twelve exhibits of her personal work, and each time has successfully blended her powerful vision with a variety of artistic media and form: pointillism, dry pastels, oil pastels, mixed media, watercolor and Scatterlings©: a collection of self-directed enchantment art. Ascender is presently working on an upcoming illustrated novel. Contact Ascender to alert you on the book publication date.

“For me every act of creating art is catharsis. If I can provide my viewer with just a glimpse of that emotional action, I feel I have been successful.” Jacquelyn Berl
