About
Jackie was born in New Zealand and has spent most of her adult life in Sydney and London.
Her works have been sold privately and through galleries in Australia, Europe and New Zealand.
She has developed her love of painting over the last 15 years whilst studying at the Willoughby Art Centre, Sydney, and is now looking forward to dedicating more time to painting whilst living in France and travelling back to Australia for a short time each year.
Jackie enjoys painting in a wide range of mediums – from her earlier paintings in watercolour, ink and pastel, to her more recent work in acrylic, concentrating on colour and texture and often incorporating ink, charcoal and collage.
She is also a dedicated photographer, and is enjoying experimenting with the use of her many photographs in her paintings.
Jackie has been travelling between Sydney and France since 2003 and is now based in the Languedoc region of France where she is working in various mediums and styles to continue to capture the atmosphere of the European landscape, villages and houses in her works.
She intends to return to Sydney each year for 2-3 months to add to her collection, and is looking forward to holding an exhibition there in 2009.
