"I loved the fact that the woman's expression carries a lot of thought. Placing the head facing out is a difficult composition. The dark and hard edge going out the bottom left balanced the entire piece. Great painting!"

"This painting blew me away. What can I say - very unconventional, powerful and brave design. I love the rendering of the flesh tones and the hair everything is done well and nothing is overstated. She is looking into the future with strength and determination while still having so much beauty, grace and femininity .... it's a stunner. Bravo! I would hang on to this one Jacquelyn."

"With superb drawing, edges and value,
Jacquelyn creates a sensitivity that stops time."

Expressive and full of mystery, Jacquelyn's intimate figurative works evoke elements of timelessness and portray a deep connection to her subjects.
