Jacqueline "Jacque" S. Giuffre is an illustrator and a sculptor. She combines her love of nature and science by sculpting animals, taking endless inspiration from travels to Sub-saharan Africa, Morocco, South America, and Southeast Asia. Although she maintains a studio in Napa, California, much of her time is spent studying animals at the San Diego Zoo, a world-renowned leader in endangered animal and plant research. It is her honor to support their efforts with her bronze sculptures. She has been an artist in residence at the Ruwenzori Sculpture Foundation, Uganda. While on location, Jacque cast 12 feet of bronze relief, depicting migrating African animals. Her illustrations have appeared in Pacific Coast Bird Finder.
