Resume
Jacqui graduated from Glyndwr University with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and works predominantly in printmaking. Last year (2023) she completed DYCP Award project from Arts Council England. This included researching locations nationally to make new prints and working with galleries.
Recent exhibitions include ‘Surface Challenge’ at the Barbican Library, and ‘Thinking for Printing’ exhibition the Bankside Gallery in London, both with the Printmakers Council. Also the Royal Cambrian Open at their gallery in Conwy, and Printmakers Pushing the Boundaries Exhibition at the Dory Gallery in Llangollen.
In her work, Jacqui is continually drawn to rich layers of human history within the built environment, visiting towns and cities alongside more rural locations.
Using silkscreen, linocut and blind embossing she distils memories of places visited and objects within them. Colour plays a significant role, whether subtle or vibrant. With a limited palette or leaving areas untouched, Jacqui explores space and mood within images. Surfaces of her screen prints show layers of solid and transparent elements.
In contrast, her intricately carved blind embossed prints are devoid of colour, whereby the paper plays a significant role, revealing form and texture through shadow and light.
In the autumn of 2016 Jacqui was one of four artists selected to collaborate with artwork at BPN Architects in Birmingham, she exhibited 'Reveal, Conceal', a collection of screen prints inspired by buildings and architecture around the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter.
Jacqui teaches print workshops at locally and nationally. She has also taught print as part of exhibitions and funded projects in museum, school and heritage venues.
