Hello, I'm Jacqueline Claire Smith.
Welcome to my studio.
Painting enables me a meditative chance to reflect on the intricacy of the living world and the grace I experience living in it. My art seeks to share that peace and connection, offering contemplative moments of pause and invitations to revel in nature's splendour.
As a lover of truth and beauty, I seek authenticity while drawing inspiration from the natural abundance of our world.

History
In early youth, most of my time was spent immersed in imaginative worlds. I ran many fictitious creative businesses from our living room floor - chief editor of a magazine, writer and illustrator of many books, songwriter, fashion designer and I even hosted a radio show, just to name a few. But for the most part I was always adding to my sketchbook. During my childhood I was also exposed to an abundance of natural musings in the wilderness during camping trips and summers in the bush and coast of Victoria.
I am still that earth centred, focused and creative girl.
Later, I attended many lessons with local artists and designers before delving deeper at the Victorian College of the Arts, completing a Bachelor with Honours and have participated in regular solo and group shows. I am currently self represented and sell my work directly from my home studio in South East Victoria, Australia.
Thank you for listening, and joining me on my journey.
Much Love,
- Jacqueline x
