Jacqui Gibbs Chamberlain

Jacqui is an artist of figurative subjects with life and energy. While Jacqui’s subject matter is invariably the human form, it is secondary to her exploring form, structure, movement, colour and texture. In her recent body of work, there is a translucent feel which gives the paintings a whole new interest.
