  • 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.

  • “This reflective pool becomes a mirror to sky and stone, inviting stillness and reverence. The painting captures the quiet language of place — where water remembers everything it touches, and time gathers in its depth.”

    Jaqueline Burgess, 2025.
