Biography of Jeannette Waugh
Jeannette Waugh attended New England School of Art & Design from
1991-1994, and graduated as an illustration major, with a certificate
in graphic design. She was hired at Nancy Sales Company (Nanco), in
Chelsea, MA in 1995 to create artwork for souvenirs. In the early
years, she drew all designs by hand to be reproduced on mugs,
keychains, totes, and other giftware items. Over the years, she
learned various design programs (Freehand, Illustrator, Photoshop,
Quark) while on the job, and through continuing education classes.
The later years of her employment, she designed hang tags, sewn in
labels, signs, trade show advertisements and product catalogs which
showcased their licensed plush characters. In February 2009,
Jeannette was laid off due to the recession. Since then, she has been
enjoying life as a stay-at-home mom.
This layoff was the catalyst to joining the Tewksbury Community of
Artists. After graduating art school in 1994, the demands of everyday
life quickly took priority over creating self-directed artwork. In
2009, Jeannette joined TCA with the hope of establishing a commitment
to make time for her own art once again. With scheduled community art
shows, she has found a new focus and goal to work towards.
Jeannette's first show with the TCA was in the fall of 2009, where
she entered 4 pieces and was awarded 2 ribbons. ('2nd Place' and
'Honorable Mention' for watercolor with colored pencil) She looks
forward to creating and exhibiting new artwork for TCA shows in the
years to come.
Jeannette grew up in Melrose, MA and has lived in Tewksbury, MA
since 2004. She is married and has 3 young children. She is currently
pursuing graphic design and illustration work on a per diem or per
job basis. Once her children are a bit older and are all attending
school full time, she looks forward to reentering the design field on
a part time basis.
