Jacqueline Pelosi Owns an Art Studio – Meet Nancy Pelosi's Daughter

Jacqueline Pelosi is one of Nancy and Paul F. Pelosi's five children. Though her parents built successful careers in business and politics, Jacqueline took a different and notably inclusive path into art.

Jacqueline Pelosi is the third child born to Nancy and Paul F. Pelosi. She is one of five siblings, including her older sisters, Nancy Corinne and Christine, and her younger brother and sister, Paul Jr. and Alexandra.

Jacqueline hails from a family that's not unfamiliar with the spotlight. Despite this, she has lived privately and has allowed her work to speak for itself. She is a well-accomplished art teacher and studio owner, in addition to being a mom and wife.

Jacqueline Pelosi Is a Three-Time Graduate

According to her LinkedIn profile, Jacqueline enrolled at the University of Southern California in 1986 but only remained there until the following year. She transferred to Georgetown University in 1987 and graduated with a BA in Political Science and Government in 1989.

Years later, in 1996, she attained an MEd (Master of Education) in Art Teacher Education from the University of Houston. While doing her MEd, Jacqueline enrolled for another master's at the same institution in 1995.

She graduated with a Master of Special Education, focusing on Special Education and Teaching, in 1997. Sometime after attaining her first degree, Jacqueline worked as a promotions coordinator for Gourmet Magazine in New York.

Then, during her postgraduate studies, she volunteered with pediatric patients through the children's art project at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Additionally, she taught children with varying special needs at the River Arts and Performing Center in Houston, Texas, for three years.

Jacqueline Pelosi Has Run Her Studio since 2005

Jacqueline founded and opened Artmix in Houston in 2005. The studio has offered art classes, including drawing, painting, and sculpting, to students ranging from toddlers to adults. Notably, it also caters to people with varying abilities and needs.

"I believe art plays a vital role in our lives and enjoy exploring that role with our artists and through the organizations that support special needs," Jacqueline wrote on the official website. In addition to teaching, she is also an Educational Consultant and Coach.

Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Is a Married Mom of Three

In March 1993, Jacqueline's parents publicly announced she was engaged to Michael Terence Kenneally. Like Jacqueline, Michael had graduated from Georgetown University. He later attained an MBA from Cornell University.

He married Jacqueline a few months following their engagement, on June 19, 1993. The wedding occurred at the Catholic Church of St. Helena in St. Helena, California. The couple welcomed three sons afterward, whom they raised together in Houston.

They have since led a private life with their kids, though Jacqueline once made a rare public appearance with her mother, Nancy. The pair attended a state dinner hosted by former First Lady and US President Michelle Obama and Barack Obama in 2014.

Other attendees included Bradley Cooper, Stephen Colbert, and Mary J. Blige. In February 2021, following the severe Texas winter storm, Nancy shared that Jacqueline and her family were among those affected but said her concerns were "minor compared to people in need."
