About Jacqueline
When I create artworks I aim to challenge and examine my initial perceptions about a particular concept.
Over time, our perspective evolves and often shows us the power of resilience; what we have become as well as how we can reconnect and revitalise.
My love for the natural world, organic textures and forms are fundamental to my mixed-media artworks. My artworks are largely abstract, but sometimes recognisable forms subconsciously find their way in.
Each artwork is developed by building up layer upon layer until I reach a point where I feel the composition has captured the fundamental essence of my perceived reality.
Having people intrigued enough to attempt to unravel the intentions of my art is like someone getting to know me personally, which is a privilege I do not take for granted.
I work from my studio in Port Douglas, Far North Queensland.
Earthly inspiration.
If you’re interested in some of the secrets behind my work, this short video is just for you! In an interview with Sophia Stacey I reveal a number of different techniques that I use in my paintings and abstract artwork. We also delve deeper into abstract expressionism and the inspiration that I get from the natural world, organic textures and forms that I encounter in the environment around us.

Embracing resilience.
My reflections draw on the beauty and emotions surrounding me, including aspects such as loneliness and confusion, as well as the desire to connect and coexist. I believe our thoughts and experiences weather and shape us. They change us as we search for clarity and can inspire us to do better.
