I have always been drawn to bodies of water both natural, oceans and rivers and also man made i.e swimming pools because of the soothing qualities of being immersed in water. The weightlessness experienced when floating. This physical sensation feels somehow special and sacred but also mundane and limitless. This connection to water feels like a faithful friend and constant companion always there when you need it and asking nothing of you in return. The beach and coastline feature heavily in my work generally viewed from above. I am fascinated by the linear elements and patterns that appear. I am especially interested in this environment's constant state of flux and how the tide has the ability to both reveal and conceal. With this collection of work I have strived to represent the duality between the structured elements of swimming pools against the wild and natural environs of the ocean.
Artist Bio: Inspired by her coastal surroundings Jackie translates impressions of the environment around her into beautifully layered abstract paintings. She is a colour driven creative and her practice explores new ways of interpreting both built and natural landscapes into abstract form.
Jackie’s work is characterised by her confident use of colour, abstract shapes and expressive marks. Her paintings are vivid and bold yet on closer inspection reveal subtle details which provoke thought and wonder, opening the viewer to create their own personal story and narrative. She paints intuitively and blurs the line between past and present, real and imagined.
Her true passion has always been abstract art and while her work is at times representational, abstraction is what fuels her creative practice. Every piece she makes starts out purely abstract and then more often than not morphs into something tangible during the making process.
Her work is held in private collections around Australia, New Zealand and America.
