A special congrats to artist Jacquelyn Nix! Jacquelyn is the broadside artist for Vol 5! Once a year, we have an artist collaborate with a Thimble Poet. You can see the art here in this issue, online and in print, but to get the broadside with Oisin Breen’s poem “To Linger Here in the Incomplete” (4.4), you have to be a Patreon $10/month supporter. Check out our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/thimblelitmag.

Jacquelyn Nix is a University of Dallas alumni, a wife and mother of four, and an artist living in South Texas. Her primary medium has historically been charcoal and pencil sketch, which flourished during a semester in Rome as a way to memorialize the experience. She recently taught herself and fell in love with Watercolor as a new outlet of artistic expression. About painting she says, “Watercoloring reveals boundaries. The invisible is made visible, often by what is left undone for a time. Inside of that time, the painting is taking shape as an artifact of a dream that will become tangible.”
Congratulations, Jacqui! So proud of you! Love the artwork! Keep going!
