Jacqueline’s ‘Magic Beach’ series borrows it’s name from Alison Lester’s classic children’s book. The abstract paintings draw from observing her two year old’s full-body love for the beach (he still calls the beach at Yamba NSW ‘Magic Beach’). His energetic meanderings involve wave chasing, sand tossing and rock pool splashing. This painting combines seashell forms and peachy tones with horizon lines, grittiness is balanced with fresh colour & line. This painting celebrates the Australian coastline and the the beautiful interplay between tactile and intangible impressions. A ‘Magic Beach’ is full of curiosity, wonder and attending to the ‘texture’ of everyday life.
This painting has been featured in Inside Out Magazine.
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.
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 and has had several solo exhibitions.
She currently lives in Mcleans Ridges, northern NSW with her young family.
