Jackie was born in Lincoln in 1962, and studied at the Gloucestershire School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools.

She is a painter with a firm belief in the traditions of the artist's craft - good drawing, observation and a sound understanding of tonal values and colour. Ken Howard once said of her: "Jackie's work is in the main stream tradition of British Painting in the twentieth century, from the Camden Town and Euston Road Schools through new English painters like Sickert and Steer; a worthy follower of that greatest of English women painters, Gwen John". She is perhaps best known for her large interiors, but she also paints outdoor scenes including landscapes.

Jacqueline has won many awards, and has exhibited with this gallery since the 1980s.
