Jackie Anderson

Jackie Anderson is a New Zealand born mixed media artist working full time from her sunny Newcastle home studio. Inspired by her coastal surroundings Jackie translates impressions of the environment around her into beautifully layered abstract paintings. She is a colour driven creative and her art practice explores new ways of interpreting both built and natural landscapes into abstract form.

She studied visual arts, majoring in painting at the University of Auckland then spent almost a decade working and travelling in Europe. These years spent abroad continue to influence Jackie's art practice as she draws on memory and the process of story-telling in her work.

She exhibits her work regularly around Australia and has been a finalist in several national art prizes including the Fisher's Ghost Art Award and the Lethbridge Landscape Prize. She was also chosen as the Jumbled Art Superstar for 2019. Her works are held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand and America.
