Jackie knew from an early age that she wanted to be an artist. She would watch her dad drawing a picture of a lapwing, making a bird appear on a piece of paper using only a pencil, and thought it was some magic that made this happen.
Working for book and magazine publishers Jackie developed her career as an illustrator. Now living and working from a small cottage by the sea in Wales with her family and a multitude of cats and dogs, she is surrounded by big skies and plenty of inspiration.
