Watercolors by Jackeline Savino · Exhibit runs from Apr 26 - June 17
ARTIST STATEMENT:
It is almost surreal to present this, my first Art Exhibition in this gorgeous and prestigious Library, thank you for being a part of this journey that has been so magical for me. Watercolor has brought so much joy to my universe, every time I paint, I find myself totally submerged into the botanical silhouettes that are growing from my hand onto the paper. There's no right or wrong, there’s no judgment, I just flow with the water diluting the pigment, with the brush dancing from the palette into the paper and bringing to life my ideas. I hope that my Artwork makes you feel at least a little bit of the happiness and peacefulness that nature provides to me, and that you can enjoy and get inspired by the amazing beauty that surrounds us every day.
Nature is perfect and unique, so is everyone's Art expression.
ARTIST BIO:
Hi I’m Jackeline Savino, I'm a Watercolor Artist since a few years ago and I live in Park City, Utah. I can say I found my home away from home in this enchanting State.
As a Yoga Instructor I found the most amazing form of meditation through Watercolor. I am a human with a strong desire to learn more, my eternal curiosity and search for the beautiful side of everything, the smile, the laughter and the flowers… happiness can be found everywhere in the simplest of things.
I am in deeply in love with the creative process of mixing pigments, flow with music and create magical moments & paintings, you'll see a little bit of my soul in every petal, in every leaf, in every feather… They were all part of a beautiful session of connection with the universe, good energies & love for Nature, which is my favorite thing to paint; botanicals. I like to experiment with flowers pistils, wine, fruits & other natural elements to create new colors.

The Salt Lake City Public Library's Marmalade Branch is the anchor of a mixed-use project developed as a key part of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Salt Lake City's master plan for the Marmalade/West Capitol Hill area of the city. The neighborhood serves as a gateway to Salt Lake City from the north, and the Marmalade Branch is both a hub for neighborhood gatherings and an important welcome for visitors, highlighting a focus on development in the area. On-street parking is available on 500 North and 300 West, and UTA routes offer service with stops immediately in front of the Library on 300 West.
The two-story Marmalade Branch, designed by Blalock & Partners Architectural Design Studio and completed in early 2016, provides 18,600 square feet of new construction to support a thriving and growing community. The first floor includes the Moka Cafe, featuring local coffee and chocolate; a Creative Lab with the latest maker technologies like 3D printing and music-making software as well as "old school" tech such as sewing machines and a turntable; a flexible Children's area; and the very popular Music and Movies collection. The second floor includes the Adult collection, study rooms for a range of group sizes, and a large, flexible multi-purpose room with tiered seating to allow for a wide variety of events. The multi-purpose room has already been very popular with the community, hosting community feedback sessions, film screenings, TEDx events, music recitals, and the highly-popular Coffee and Chocolate Society. The second floor also features a wrap-around terrace offering views of the Capitol Building to the east, Salt Lake City's picturesque skyline and landscape to the south and, to the north, views to a public plaza and open green space as part of a new mixed-use development.
The project utilizes an exterior shading device along the west-facing glass to minimize solar heat gain yet still promote a dynamic interaction with the street and passersby. Its compact footprint reduces land use and allows for a high-performance building envelope. The use of LED lights, lighting control systems, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting reduce the amount of electrical energy consumption while the flood of natural light creates an inviting interior environment for patrons and an efficient, balanced workplace for staff. In honor of these sustainability features, the Marmalade Branch was awarded the LEED Silver certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC).
