Artist's statement:
Jackie's professional background is graphic design, typography through to finished artwork. She worked on several national Fleet Street newspapers and magazines producing promotional artworks for many prestigious events.

Having exhausted her field of expertise in London she changed her career path and helped set up a craft-based business venture in architectural scenic modelmaking.

Her careers have always been arts-based in some way and her interest and passion for watercolour painting had developed strongly. She is entirely self-taught and her love and reputation for dramatic seascapes, lakeland and highland scenes are inspired by travelling around the great British coast. She is honoured to have been invited to become a member of The Society of Women Artists, historically representing some of the country's leading women artists. She exhibits in Hertfordshire, London, Norfolk, County Kerry, Ireland and Herefordshire.

Clients are welcome to view her works by appointment at her studio in Anstey near Buntingford.
