Jacquelin Napal is an established entrepreneur in the Contemporary Art Industry. Jacquelin managed her first gallery at the mere age of 24! While in this role, Jacquelin quickly noticed a gap in the art industry for female entrepreneurship.

Art Angels Gallery is a vibrant and welcoming space for artists, collectors, and admirers of art. Art Angels currently represents over 50 artists. Jacquelin’s focus is on managing the creative aspects of the gallery which includes art curation for real estate developers looking to elevate their spec properties, interior designers, celebrities and every-day lovers of art. Jacquelin continues to enjoy working with artists to encourage their talents, creative journeys and personal stories so that they can continue to connect better with their audiences.
Jacquelin is a proud mother, female business founder, and a creative powerhouse. As a female founder in a male dominated industry, Jacquelin recognizes the importance of showing duality between strength and grace. When she is not in her gallery space, Jacquelin is passionate about all forms of wellness ranging from the physical to the spiritual and emotional.
