Jaqueline was born in South Africa and trained and studied Fine Art. She travelled to Europe to work as an artist, muralist, and art teacher at a private school in London.

Jaqueline now resides in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, on the east coast of Australia, and works full-time from her home studio.

As a finalist in the Lethbridge 20000 in 2023, the Arts In The Valley in 2022, and a semi-finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize in 2016, Jaqueline’s work moves between landscapes and portrait painting.

She recently completed twelve landscape paintings for a dual exhibition for Gallery Alchemy, fulfilling a milestone in her art career.

“When displayed together, these two petite artworks, Amaru and Adama, offer a harmonious visual dialogue.”

“Amaru captures a coastal landscape with rugged rocks in the foreground, meeting the expanse of sea and sky in the distance.”

“In contrast, Adama draws the viewer closer, presenting an intimate study of the same rocks' intricate textures and details.”

“Together, they balance depth and focus, creating a captivating exploration of the natural world.”
