Jackelin art practice spans from the sculptural to performative and painting. Solorio’s art is conceptually driven; her inspirations come from her feelings while attempting to communicate her experiences as a way to document her growth as a person. Her work aims to create a sense of community, a safe place to express insecurities that arise from people who identify as women. Solorio grew up in a religious family in her early childhood, this has left her grappling with personal issues, religion, women's bodies, and cultural patriarchal concerns. These topics are recurring in her art. She wants people to find commonalities creating a sense of self-discovery when encountering her work. Solorio pushes herself to create while exploring her evolutionary journey. Her work captures her development as it is happening.
