A little about Inscapes 2020:

This collection of paintings was born out of this strange year. Jacquie has turned to natural landscapes and walking in open spaces for inspiration in the past. This year, we were asked to ‘shelter in place’ with our physical movement restricted, and daily life changed. The resulting shift in sensations, thoughts and inward gaze prompted painting meditations on internal terrains. These abstract works employ the artist’s long-standing path motifs to express the sense of containment and deep dive into past experience. Painting became a mode to explore self, cope with change and find beauty in amidst the complications of 2020.
