Jacquelyn “Jacque” Johnson was born Lilias Jacquelyn Hannum on October 31, 1924 in Kennett Square Pennsylvania. Jacque graduated from The Tyler School of Fine Arts at Temple University in Elkins Park Pennsylvania with a degree in Fine Arts focusing both on portraiture and art education. After graduation in 1954, she studied abroad in Paris.
In 1958, Jacque moved to Honolulu as a protégé of artist Juanita Kenda (1923-2000) who was also from Pennsylvania, and an art educator with the State of Hawai'i, The Academy of Arts, and the University of Hawai'i. While in Honolulu, Jacque met and married Alcy “Shorty” Johnson and moved to the Big Island in 1959 where Shorty became the manager of the Kawaihae Terminal for Theo H. Davies. In Waimea, Jacque taught art at “The Little School” as it was then called of the Hawai'i Preparatory Academy. She was also employed at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in the 1960s and '70s where she worked in the art galleries and gift shops at the hotel while also designing window displays. Jacque also lent her artistic talents to the Parker Ranch newspaper and designed the milk labels for the Greenwell Dairy, Inc. in Waimea.
Throughout her life in Hawai'i, Jacque continued to study art and in her later years she focused on watercolor landscapes while taking workshops though the Hawaii Watercolor Society. She studied with Harley Brown, Carole Myers, Frank Webb, and Tom Hill. At the time of her death, Jacque requested that most of her watercolors be donated to North Hawai'i Hospice to benefit other families needing hospice care.
