weaving light into the tapestry of everyday life
About the Author

Jacqueline Striker is a Seattle-based artist, author, poet, and creative entrepreneur whose work bridges storytelling, visual art, and community building. She is the founder of Singing Tree Art Studio, a vibrant creative space offering ceramics, mixed-media art, jewelry, candle making, and workshops designed to bring people together through hands-on creativity. With a lifelong passion for storytelling, Jacqueline writes across multiple genres — including children’s literature, poetry, and memoir-inspired narratives. Her beloved children’s projects such as Stanley the Starfish and Where Do Monsters Live? blend imaginative journeys with emotional growth, while her poetry and personal stories explore resilience, transformation, humor, and the sacredness of everyday life.
Jacqueline’s work is inspired by nature, human connection, and the belief that creativity is both a form of expression and a pathway to healing. Whether teaching in her studio, publishing books through her creative imprint, or crafting art by hand, she is dedicated to nurturing curiosity, courage, and joy in others.
