Jackie, seen through history's lens
On a bitterly cold January 20, 1961, Jackie Kennedy witnessed her husband, JFK, sworn in as the 35th president of the United States. It was the first presidential inauguration televised in color, though Jackie's TV-shaped sunglass lenses reflect the black-and-white camera feed that most Americans saw.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Jackie at JFK's Inauguration
The painting is the result of hours of research, including the discovery that Jackie's iconic pillbox hat and coat were actually tan, not blue, as commonly remembered. The blue background symbolizes that common misconception.
Like the other paintings in the series, the final touch is a glossy spot varnish over the lenses so they shine as they would in real life.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
