About
Jacqui was raised in rural South Australia and went on to work as a Registered Nurse in Adelaide.
She had the opportunity to study art at the Optimal Art School and the Prisma Art and Handiwork School in Stockholm, Sweden. On return she completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of South Australia in 2012. Recently she has had the opportunity to push her work further amongst the rolling hills of Tennessee, USA. Jacqui now resides in the Adelaide Hills where she opens her studio to the public.
Jacqui considers it a privilege to proclaim wonder and delight in her work. She believes there is a need to experience beauty in this world and to encourage others to creatively express themselves. She works mostly with paint but uses any medium that catches her inspiration at the time.
Jacqui’s work has been exhibited locally and internationally with many works held in private collections.
Over the years her combined work with the arts and health industry has raised her interest in the therapeutic properties of creativity.
