"Jacquelyn Bond's watercolor illustrations depict modern Americana with a California bent. Her works weigh in on today's heavy socio-political issues yet sustain sunny dispositions.  Using symbolic imagery and a sparse color palette, Bond conveys her messages without ever appearing judgmental.  She says, "It is not my intent to take sides, but simply to inspire the viewer by provoking thought or discussion."  With war at the forefront of the news, Bond tackles the buzzword of "freedom" head on, through the characters of Lady Liberty and Justice.  Instead of a rigid statue, Lady Liberty is youthful, with porcelain skin, a well-kept hairstyle, and a knock-out body.  Justice's nemesis is a very suave Satan, with whom they have the steamy tension of a romance-novel cover.  Likewise, in her depiction of the Creation story's Eve, the snake wraps like an accessory around her voluptuous body. 
Bond's clean colors and simple backgrounds give the paintings the look of commercial advertisements.  As a result, the paintings persuade the viewer to pay attention to political agendas. Jacquelyn Bond currently resides in Oregon.
