Living her art - and loving it
Jackie Wolf Heinl
Photo and story by Lugene
Hudson
Excerpt from the New Castle News, 1/19/2009
New Castle, PA
Detail are
everything - both in beautiful art and
architecture. In Jacalyn Wolf Heinl's case, she
has won on both counts and combines living with
business. Jackie and her husband, Bill, are
owners of a stately Greek revival home that, as
best as can be determined, is about 180 years
old. Part of the house is also the focus of
Wolf's Fine Art in New Wilmington, a gallery of
mostly 19th century American works. The front
room and dining room make up the art gallery.
Her love of art began while she was in high
school, and she obtained her first painting,
which she still owns. It was a watercolor, which
cost $35 - "a lot back in 1973." Through the
years, she has frequented estate sales and
antique stores, acquiring pieces, some from as
early as the Renaissance. Jackie also supplies
larger East Coast auction houses. She acquired
knowledge through buying and selling, a docent
program, and art courses.The paintings vary from
pastoral scenes to a sailboat and are mostly
oils. She also has still-life and, naturally,
the number and types of pieces change all the
time. Above the fireplace is a painting, dated
1848, that Jackie purchased at the Butler
Institute of American Art in Youngstown, OH, by
Henry Jutson.
Her advice for selecting paintings is to trust
yourself. She recommends not buying a print, and
purchasing from a gallery so that the
authenticity is known.
