Biography / Artist statement

Jacqueline always had an interest in art as a child, and this went back into primary school. She says she vividly remembers when she used to paint as a child and one of her paintings ended up in the headmasters office. Then in secondary school, she remembers her art teacher telling her parents that she was good at art, and asking if they had any idea which side of the family this talent came from. They didn’t know. It was decades later she says she reflected on what her teacher told her parents. Jacqueline says she had a lot of different interests and that's why it took her so long to engage her passion; it was a gradual discovery; I think this is the best time to devote more time to my paintings. She went to art college, took different courses and began to perfect her art. She realized she just loved landscape paintings, beautiful sceneries, different colour trees, textures. Even living in London, which can be described as a concrete jungle, Jacqueline can see the beauty of the natural scenes, and it inspires her to paint. She can spend the whole day painting, and just enjoy it. She says her faith also played a part in discovering her love for art, spending time with the lord is so important because he is the one who truly knows you and knows the gifts that are inside you, waiting to be discovered.
