About Jacqui G

I never gave up on my creative spirit. Layered throughout my life like seams in the formation of a beautiful opal, I have dabbled consistently with colour, design, expression and composition.

In the background I had my dreams and in reality I had to pay the bills! This included Events Exec, Promotions Exec, Travel Sector, Business Development in various sectors, Real Estate Sector, Food Tours (my own company) and disappearing into the wilderness to live off grid.

Bringing that all together I built a wealth of experience and emotions to draw on and express in my work. Several years ago, opportunity knocked and I stepped up to the plate and painted prolifically, then one day someone was shown my work and believed enough in my creations to promote and sell reproductions online – one of my outlets was Temple & Webster - to this date over 500 of my reproduction and originals pieces have sold.

Life has not been all sunshine & rainbows, though I try to always focus on the bright side and find laughter in every day, even when the extremely tough times nearly drown you, I calm myself and know that these too will pass and good times will return.

Here is a glimpse of what inspires me and the magic moments I translate into my paintings.

What inspires this art?

Coral reefs teeming with life as I snorkel and dive the reefs and wrecks of Heron Island, Micronesia and many locations.

Swimming up close with magnificent Manta Rays off the Queensland coast.

One-thousand shades of green in the rainforest of Cape Tribulation, where I lived.

Glistening brilliant silver of the ocean at sunset on a Cape York beach, also where I lived.

Magic moments of iridescent phosphorous glowing in the midnight ocean waters

The pure waters of a natural rainforest creek washing over me

Capturing the brilliant indigo blue of the Ulysses butterfly dancing throughout tropical forests

Breathing in the smell of the earth after rainfall and listening to the abundance of wildlife communicating 

This is just a peek into the many wonderful experiences I have been blessed to have so far and the future is looking bright to create for the rest of my life. Please enjoy!
