Jacque's fascination with the natural world began at a very early age. Her fascination turned into various art forms through the years. From small carvings of animals as a child to weaving tapestry with naturally dyed material and most recently soft pastels and acrylics paintings.

Her subject are most often taken form nature but also from the plains and forms found in man made objects. She attempts to challenge you with thought provoking assumption about the history or personality of her subject’s choices.

Jacque is a self taught artist with curiosity as her mentor. Photographs are her main source of reference. Her studio is in her apartment kitchen, so her paintings are a part of her daily life until she feels they are complete. ‘The process is what I enjoy the most, watching my work develop. Sometimes ending completely differently than I had planned’.
