quotes from critical reviews of her work:
"Her...tropical flower art works in 'Flores de Venezuela' [exhibit] are heroic in their splendor." - John Carlos Cantu (in Ann Arbor News art review, December, 1995).

"Jackowski did much more that magnify her subject. Rich greens, blues, and warm neutrals are played against a dark background. A repetition of controlled textures resulting from wet on wet technique has resulted in poetic reverberations within larger shapes. Through the dynamic placement of shapes she speaks of life." - Nancy Moyer, Ph.D. (in The Monitor online review, www.themonitor.com, 12/23/2005).
