Jacqueline is a Sydney based artist, born in Broken Hill and raised in (R)Adelaide. From a young age she was always creating pieces of art here there. After finishing high school she moved to Paraguay with her family where she studied graphic design, did a few years of private oil painting classes, photography & engraving workshops and studied visual arts at the Superior Institute of Art of the National University of Asuncion where she discovered and developed her abstract expressionist style of painting.
The foundation of her practice is based on the spontaneity of abstract expressionism. It enables her to express and translate a non-tangible experience into a visual form enabling viewers into her visual world.
Her paintings are inspired by her surroundings, music and experiences and are created with acrylic paints and palette knives. This fast paced technique of using a palette knife creates textural qualities, expressive gestures, enhances light and movement. She has exhibited as a solo artist and taken part in group exhibitions in Asuncion, Sydney and Melbourne.

We expected a little more guided and controlled learning, like how to use specific tools and make specific marks with them. We were just left to make art by ourselves after a warm up and felt a bit lost.

Great communicator who really inspired me to paint with a pallet knife. Lots of tips and easy to follow demonstrations.

Jacqueline was a very approachable teacher with clear instructions. She gave plenty of alternatives and demonstrated a variety of techniques which we were able to practise before completing 3 canvases. It would be good to have some ideas for the style of art that you would like to attempt.

Jacqueline, the teacher, is fantastic. The material provided was great: 3 canvas, acrylic colors and plenty of palette knifes to chose and experience with them.
A good starting point for Palette knife painting

This class was really good Started slow with techniques and by then end you felt like a pro. Simple to learn almost anyone could do it. Best to come in with an idea of colours you like together or a subject to paint as the last hour is essentially self directed exploration.

Wonderful experience with Jacqueline and classmates. A good chance to discover interesting colour combination. The environment is beautiful as well. Thanks and looking forward to the next workshop!

Teacher was good, not too artsy which I liked but could have provided more understanding on our goals/intentions of the warm up exercises.
Venue in DARLINGHURST was lovely and added to the tranquil element of the class.
We learnt palette knife painting techniques and got to use artist extensive supply of knives but we didn’t see her demonstrate much. And only took canvases home, I had thought I might get some knives too to enable me to keep practising.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time out being creative.

Thank you Jacqueline and other class members for an enjoyable workshop. The view was fantastic out the windows. Jacqueline was very helpful and attentive. I would like to attend another workshop after I have practised a bit, to come and learn more.
