Jacquiline Simone Touba, Ph.D.

Dr. Jacquiline Touba is an artist as well as a sociologist and museum professional. For close to 50 years I created pen and ink drawings of interesting sites on my world travels. After teaching and conducting research abroad for 15 years, my interest in art, education and international affairs prompted me to found the World Awareness Children’s Museum in Glens Falls, NY. After retiring in 2013, I brought my administrative skills to the Board of North Country Arts and the Glens Falls Arts District Committee. I started designing one of a kind necklaces with silver components collected around the world and semi-stones as well as earrings. I continued my artistic and international interests by researching and drawing dancers around the world, birds in mythology. and paintings influenced by Persian miniatures. In 2015, I discovered a new art form of watercolor batik on Japanese Ginwashi paper and applied this technique to my art in vibrant colors.
From 2015 I did a series of coloring books of my pen and ink dancer drawings on five continents and a series of watercolor batiks of selected international dancers, a Birds in Mythology coloring book and selected birds in watercolor batik paintings which are available in note cards as well. The next project has entailed researching Persian miniatures. In 2021 a coloring book, Images of Women in 15th-16th c. Persian miniatures was completed and currently I am working on paintings to illustrate a book of Persian Love Stories from 1000 years ago.
