Through mixed media including ink, watercolour and ochre, Jacqueline explores relationships between dualities such as symbolism/ representation, memory/ direct observation, control/ freedom and rawness/ refinement. Jacqueline’s subject matter combines figuration (referencing traditional life drawing) and organic abstraction, often in collaboration with water. Her drawings are presented as installations and through performance. Jacqueline has explored Live Art, ritual and intuitive mark-making in collaboration with performance artist Frauke Huhn as The Response, and in Performance hART’s “The Conduits”.
In other work, Jacqueline is passionate about art as therapy and also arts-based interdisciplinary learning. As a qualified teacher she has worked across Australia in primary and secondary schools, as a workshop facilitator and artist with Scale Free Network: art-science collaborative and in museum public programs. Jacqueline has also facilitated after school art classes for children (Art Nebula) and programmed visual arts workshops for festivals.
Jacqueline holds a BA in Fine Art (Drawing) from RMIT and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Visual Arts) from ACU Melbourne.
