Born in Cornwall, a post modern addition to her Cornish ancestors, Jacqueline grew up surrounded by the distinctive ancient sites that abound in Cornwall. This and the then comparatively wild and intriguing character of the landscape informs and inspires her still. With this rich backdrop to her art practice her work incorporates a deeply felt, even spiritual awareness of our connection to nature.

Jacqueliine engages with and deepens her connection to place through her love of detail and colour. Trees are of special interest and Jacqueline is engaged with observations of how their growth patterns belie the effects of environment and weather. Drawing from an experimental background combined with a respect for tradition her work fuses often bold colour and mark making with delicately articulate passages. Jacqueline is a member of The Arborealists - a group of artists who specialise in paintings of trees.
