About Jacki

As a Surf Coast artist and educator, Jacki Burke is highly regarded for her versatility as an artist by both peers and students alike.

“I’m never restricted to a particular medium; I use oil paints, acrylics and pastel with equal proficiency. The canvas, medium and subject speak to me and need to be portrayed accordingly.”

“I’m inspired by colour and literally paint because I have to, I wake up with ideas, I see inspiration everywhere and love telling a story with light and shadow with the brushstrokes”

Her passion is creating in paint and pastel, however Jacki will step it up to mixed media and resin for added inspiration. As a successful exhibiting artist, Jacki’s work is collected both locally and abroad.

Jacki has taught art for over 20 years in weekly painting classes & weekend workshops from her Torquay Studio. The classes vary for beginners to masterclasses in Oils & Resin with people travelling Australia wide to attend.

Jacki is also happy to discuss commissions and collaborative projects.
