Jacqueline Jax is known for her whimsical style that pictures the world through colorful glass.
The artist melts together a limited palate of three primary colors in her work that mix on paper to combine powerful and uniquely brilliant hues giving warmth and energy to each piece of art.
One thing that is noted is this artist demonstrates a broad view of nature looking past what’s usual to focus on the unusual details that she feels need to be seen. This is ever present in her Iconic portraits which portray more than just a flat image. Each portrait tells a story about the subject through colors and shapes that reflect their journey in life.
Jacqueline takes all of her own photography to become fully engaged by her surroundings as part of her pre-painting process.
This can be especially seen in her urban paintings and especially the micro focused abstract florals inspired by her seasonal photographs taken on her daily walks in Canada with her two Siberian husky’s.

Iconic Faces
Known for her Iconic Faces, Jacqueline utilizes computer technology and Watercolour to create unique and powerful structures that intermingle to tell a story behind the faces of legendary iconic symbols.
Her ability to reconstruct faces to tell a story that reflects the personality of her subject is brilliant. JAX uses rich textures and shadows to make the image look 3 dimensional. Her ingenious approach to portraits is both engaging and mesmerizing delighting art fans as they gaze endlessly to find hidden images in each face.
The process begins with watercolor. Once the shapes are in place, the image is converted to digital and additional layers are added to turn the portrait into a collectors quality silver halide print with exceptional visual depth and a high gloss finish. Spectacular!!

URBAN PAinting
Don’t ever lose your dreams.
It’s your dream and the hope that you have for your future that make all things brighter. The worst thing that anyone can do is take away someone’s dream by making things seem hopeless. So when the world says give up that’s when you have to believe in yourself and push forward. .
Completed: December 13, 2020
Exploring the story of Secretariat, the worlds most inspiring horse who gave hope to the people during the worst depression in history. The U.S. economy was plagued with high inflation, an oil crisis, rising unemployment, and the worst recession since the 1930s.
Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse who, in 1973, became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. His record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is widely regarded as one of the greatest races in history.
Secretariats body radiates warmth in pinks and raspberries reminding us of how big a true heart can be and how that force is incomparable to any obstacle. In the story depicted in this painting, he is large, strong and a clear force with the jockey looking back in amazement as he rides along for this journey of his career.
This is the moment when the Jockey looks back and realizes that he’s not riding the horse, he’s just along for the ride. You learn so much from stories like these. Not only does the story remind us that all dark times eventually brighten but as Penny Chenery said...
“This is not about going back. This is about life being ahead of you and you run at it! Because you never know how far you can run unless you run.”

🌸This was such a great experience for me. Abstract Expressionism is one of my favorite styles. I'm definitely doing this again tonight.
🌸Set a date to come hang out with me on YouTube during my most relaxing time of the day.
We can have a glass of wine together, eat some chocolate and watch the watercolors melt across the paper.

RT @GetBackYerMusic: @JacquelineJax That's so true, Jacqueline, and if I may add, neither a job nor a medical condition defines anyone either. 🙂
Every piece of Jacqueline's artwork tells a unique story. Through her paintings, she invites viewers to embark on a journey, unraveling layers of symbolism and meaning through colours, shapes and form. Whether it's a serene monochromatic landscape or a thought-provoking wild true soul portraits, her art invites contemplation and introspection.
