As a designer/maker, Jacqui finds inspiration for creativity can come from anywhere. Form, texture and colour can be inspired by nature, materials, techniques or dreams.

Although Jacqui's journey into jewellery began with a passion for making rings and working with silver and timber, time and experimentation has lead to an eclectic mix of materials and techniques.

Jacqui's most recent body of work was inspired by the relaxing and meditative process of watercolour and doodling. Around the time that she was experimenting with the watercolours Jacqui had also begun to explore a jewellery technique that was new to her. Coloured pencil is a wonderful way to add colour to metal. By slowly building up layers of colour and texture the possibilities are endless. The lines and forms that come from doodling are also starting to take shape in the form of brass and silver cuffs and neckpieces. The brass mix and match earrings gives creative freedom to the wearer.

Jacqui has said that one of the highlights of joining FIND in April 2021 was the bonus of working alongside a diverse group of talented and supportive individuals. The opportunity inspired Jacqui to push her creative boundaries and venture outside her comfort zone.

Jacqui intends to continue exploring, experimenting and diving into the unknown.
