About jcdc
Jacqui is a visual artist and painter now based on the Bass Coast, Victoria.
She has lived for last 20 years in the Yarra Ranges, painting and exhibiting and she opened her studio annually in the regions Open studios program.
A lifelong career in graphic design has cultivated her creative ideas and discipline, with an early foundation and love of drawing and fine art studies.
For over a decade she has exhibited paintings of Australian landscapes .
Her paintings are derived from site sketches and memory, filled with recurring motifs and rapid gestural brush strokes. Her art is a fusion of natural subjects and vibrant colour palettes that capture the atmosphere of each location.
The Fauvists and Blau Reiter movements, and expressionists of the 20th century are influences that all experimented in radical ways. Jacqui is more interested in developing painterly qualities over realistic values, which keeps her paintings evolving and unique with their own alchemy and visual language.
