Visual Artist Jacqui Stewart divides her time between family life, photographing landscape surrounds and time in her studio painting. Jacqui grew up in Melbourne and is now based on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, where she lives high up on a mountain range with her husband, two daughters and Staffy. 

 

Jacqui considers herself a self-taught artist despite graduating with a Bachelor of Education - Visual Arts from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

 

Jacqui has taught art in Secondary schools in Victoria and Queensland for a number of years. Having a background in Art Education, Jacqui is a diverse artist but primarily works in acrylics. She adopted a modernist, figurative approach to her previous paintings and her older works displays a strong Australian narrative content.

 

Jacqui currently works from her home studio focusing on contemporary landscape painting and exploring photography.
