Jackie is greatly influenced by the graphic quality of Japanese art,
and the light of her adopted country, France. Her first love is pure
watercolour, but she is equally at home with pen and ink as well as
pastels and fine art printmaking. She will quite often incorporate an
element of calligraphic work into a collage with fine hand embossing,
which she has pioneered. All of these disciplines have evolved over a
number of years during which time she has shared her knowledge and
experience by running workshops and courses, painting holidays and
latterly writing. Unusually, Jackie is just as happy producing small
intimate works as her large watercolour compositions with a simple, but
pure and bright, pallette. Her subject range is wide, from still life
to people in places, to architecture and landscape.
