Born In South Africa, Jaqueline Burgess is an Australian Painter. As a Finalist in the Arts in the Valley in 2022 and a semi finalist in the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize in 2016 – Jaqueline moves between Portrait Painting, Landscapes and Still Life Paintings.

With early training in South Africa in Fine Art, Jaqueline traveled to Europe to work as an Artist, Muralist and Art teacher in a private school. Jaqueline now resides on the East Coast of Australia and creates works that reflect the Australian Landscape.

With the photographs and sketches, she accumulates on her coastal walks, Jaqueline has compiled a body of work inspired by places she visits. Each work portraying a memory of an emotion linked to a certain landscape at the time. Jaquelines purpose is to share this encounter with the viewer.

“Landscape Painting imbues my desire to paint the beauty I see everyday, especially in the coastal area where I live. I’ve always imagined that my emotional response to the landscape could be recreated on the canvas.”
