Leaf Reliquary | Jaqueline Burgess

Jaqueline was born in South Africa and trained and studied Fine Art. She travelled to Europe to work as an artist, muralist, and art teacher at a private school in London.

Jaqueline now resides in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, on the east coast of Australia, and works full-time from her home studio.

As a finalist in the Lethbridge 20000 in 2023, the Arts In The Valley in 2022, and a semi-finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize in 2016, Jaqueline’s work moves between landscapes and portrait painting.

“A quiet tribute to natural abundance, this still life blends robust ceramics with expressive native foliage. Each vessel becomes a container not only of leaves but of memory, presence, and story.”
