Coventry born Jacqueline has painted in oils since she was nine years old. At school she was awarded prizes for Art and continued to paint on an amateur basis until she enrolled for evening classes at The Butts College, Coventry. Here under the guidance of Mr Chris Clayden she developed her figurative drawing and painting skills. Jacqueline then went on to study at Warwick University where she gained a Bachelor of Arts Degree with Qualified Teaching Status.
Over the years Jacqueline has produced a mixture of portraits, landscapes and figurative paintings in oils. She has held several exhibitions and been involved in many Community Arts Projects in Coventry. Working alongside the Herbert Art Gallery, Jacqueline taught and encouraged young gifted artists of Coventry and organised the painting of murals for schools.
Jacqueline has also worked in industry, painting murals on a commercial basis for restaurants and sports halls.
Jacqueline now has more tome to concentrate on her own development in Art. She sees every painting as a challenge to increase her painting skills. Her paintings can take anything from two to six weeks to complete. Her inspiration comes from artists such as Rembrandt and Monet, who used colour and tone to create impact.
