Jackie's work has received much critical acclaim; as well as winning awards for her work, many pieces have been selected for reproduction and are enjoyed world-wide. Here is a comment from Sally Bulgin, Editor of "The Artist" Magazine.

"I first came across Jackie's work in 1992 when she was a participant in the Nature In Art national competition and exhibition, which attracted a large and distinguished entry from artists from all parts of the UK. Jackie's work stood out, and the judges awarded her painting first prize for its compositional power and sensitive handling of the pastel medium. Since then I have observed the many significant developments in Jackie's work over the years as she has embraced new and wide-raning subject matter and different media. Her personal responses to the myriad visual stimuli you will see in the works in this exhibition are typically honest and always engaging Enjoy!"
