The Aunties, Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas
Jacqueline Melissa Se’Ale is a painter based in southeastern Massachusetts whose work explores emotional landscapes, resilience, and transformation through layered abstraction and portrait-based imagery. Working in watercolor, acrylic, oil, and mixed media, her paintings are driven by color, texture, and intuitive mark-making. Her practice draws from personal history and cultural memory, including Portuguese-American heritage rooted in the Azores.
Se’Ale is participating in an artist residency in Faial, Azores (January–February 2026), and her work has been exhibited in regional juried and group shows throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
She firmly believes ice cream and art pair well.
