Jackson is JAI�s President and Chief Designer and works out of her studio in Clayton, GA. She creates each design by hand without the use of a computer. Angelique is an award-winning artist/designer, and schooled draftsperson � She trained in steel fabrication with Ken Williams, owner of Southern Metals, Inc. �Glass evokes deep emotion. It�s a spiritual experience,� Jackson explained. Jancik is JAI�s Master Glass Fabricator � She cuts and assembles each piece of glass by hand, in her studio, which is located in a large horse barn in Ocala, FL Jancik earned a Master�s Degree in Education from the University of Southern Mississippi where she also completed post graduate work. She trained in the field with David Clymer, fourth generation bevel master craftsman. �Working with glass is not just a profession for us. We draw personal satisfaction from exploring what glass can be � We love working together and we love what we do,� added Jancik. From Horse Barn in Ocala to Atrium Aboard the Emerald Princess. . . The Beginning During their first 10 years, Jackson and Jancik built their portfolio by producing stained glass structures primarily for private residences. �Our first clients felt the passion that we had for our craft and they supported us,� noted Jackson. It was during this first decade that JAI had an opportunity to create their first large scale project, for a Catholic church in Florida - The artists designed and built 2 beveled art glass curtain walls, measuring 8 ft X 50 ft each, a first in the history of their trade. No color was used because the priest wanted the colors of real flowers outside to shine through. �We depicted all of the symbols in hand-cut bevels - It was very challenging,� added Jancik Second Decade The next decade (1988 � 1998), was marked by JAI�s first ceiling dome for a private residence in Jackson, FL � This was a true turning point and further differentiated the company. The business catapulted to an international level with its first cruise ship project. The first ship JAI designed was the Sun Viking, by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. Today Since the late 90s, JAI has continued to grow and evolve. The company plans to expand its work in the hospitality industry. �Cruise ships are hotels on the water, so this is a natural progression for us,� Angelique said. �Our goal is to do more business in the U.S. and Europe - We�d also like to venture into the Middle East.� About Jancik Arts International (JAI), Inc.
