About Me
My Interest
Jackie has had a lifelong interest in drawing and painting. After a career change she set a goal to pursue her art passion with formal studies in drawing, watercolour and botanical art.
"Painting for me is a creative journey which may take me outside my comfort zone at times yet always provides an enriching experience that leads me inevitably to its intended destination."
My Medium
Jackie's drawings and paintings can be quite detailed involving many layers. Although watercolour was her medium of choice initially, she now works more in coloured pencil and has explored other media such as pen & ink and silverpoint and will mix media to obtain a desired effect.
My Inspiration
The beauty of nature and her love of the outdoors stirs her emotions and inspires her. Jackie chooses her subjects to paint by what speaks to her … simplicity, contours, flow … as well as their imagery and architectural shapes.
