Jacqueline McKinny was born and raised in Niwot, Colorado. She moved into Boulder in 2001 and began blowing glass after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder with a BFA in Humanities and a Certificate in Medieval Studies.
In 2006, she started Rowan Tree Studios to market her glass work. Her love of hollow form torchwork has morphed into a passion for all forms of glass work including cold working, fusing and furnace work. Jacqueline is a member of the Glass Art Society and has participated in several of the Female Flame-offs over the last few years and won the 2008 flame-off hosted in Berkeley, California.
During the summer of 2009, she will be traveling around Colorado to various wine tastings and festivals as well as Corning, NY for the Glass Art Society Annual Conference. To view a detailed Summer & Fall Festival Schedule please visit
