Jacqueline Claire Smith
Visual Artist | Based in Naarm, Melbourne
Jacqueline Claire Smith's paintings feature transient moments in nature. They form an ongoing rumination of the principle - the only constant in nature is change.
Jacqueline seeks truth in forms of life and our interconnected role. Her paintings capture moments of awe and wonder in unique expressions and multiplicities inherent in the absolute unity of the living world.
