Jackie believes wholeheartedly that “everyone is creative” and that “the gift of creativity is within each of us, waiting to unfold.”

As a participant in the Creative Heart Art classes you learn to calm the mind so you create freely from the artist within.

This is achieved by giving students the opportunity to experience creativity as a meditative process with equal emphasis placed on both the technical and spiritual side of art. In this supportive environment you learn to let go of the inner critic and discover your true creative self as you explore either the pencil or oil mediums.

In Jackie’s portraitures, you see not just a likeness but also the true nature of her subjects.
