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.

This painting is part of a series inspired by the artist's time on Tasmania's East Coast.

Jaqueline delves into abstraction, focusing on a close-up study of weathered, lichen-encrusted rocks. The predominantly green palette reflects the natural hues of the lichen, imbuing the piece with a sense of organic vitality.

Unearthing beauty in the seemingly unremarkable, this work reimagines itself as a celestial body, radiating light and energy from its textured surface.

Jaqueline Burgess, 2023.
