When my son was a toddler we lived in Yamba, northern NSW. His favourite book was Alison Lester’s classic ‘Magic Beach’, so he would yell ‘magicccc beeeaccchh’ every time we visited the seashore. We would play in the water and no matter the size of wave coming, my son thought it was 'a big one'. This painting holds these moments of waves crashing on sandy shores. It is part of a series that abstractly explores this beautiful time in our lives and the coastal rhythms that underpinned it.
Artist Bio: Jacqueline is interested in painting what it feels like moving through and connecting with particular environments. The abstract paintings build up over time with emotive colour and gooey brushwork being key. A path motif in various forms has emerged as a recurring feature in her work over time.
Jacqueline has completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts, Honours in Creative Industries and Doctorate in Philosophy (Creative Arts). She has worked as an artist and educator for the past decade. Her most recent major solo exhibition was at ‘Distract/Attend’ at Logan Art Gallery, 2024.
She currently lives in Mcleans Ridges, northern NSW with her young family.
