Jacqui creates a painting as though she is gathering impressions rather than simply recording scenes. Across her work, landscape becomes something felt as much as seen: the sweep of a coastal horizon, the tangle of foliage, the sparseness of inland country, the hushed rhythm of a shoreline.
What distinguishes her practice is not just her subject matter, but the way she translates place into experience. The result is a body of work that feels both grounded and expressive, rooted in landscape yet alive with painterly freedom.
A lifelong career in graphic design brings a designer’s eye for structure into her practice that is now guided by instinct, atmosphere, and memory. Her compositions pulse with movement, built from layered marks, saturated colour, and a confident sense of visual rhythm.
These works are more about the imprint a place leaves behind — an inner image shaped by light, season, ecology, and mood which gives her paintings a vivid immediacy, but also a reflective quality. Her palette shifts between tonal blues and greens to warmer earth tones, building tension and balance in equal measure. This is where her work feels especially distinctive: in the way she allows colour to carry atmosphere.
