Jacqui Hawk
Jacqui Hawk, a native of Edinburgh, Scotland began her career in the arts over 20 years. She is a Corporate Education Manager at UMass Lowell and now resides in Dunstable MA. Each of her paintings is emotional in nature and a metaphor for her life’s journey, from Scottish origins, travels around the world, personal struggles and challenges.  It embodies the magic and whimsical illusions of a child and the strength and wisdom of a woman with an old soul. Her work is intuitive in nature and very spontaneous and always reflects what is going on inside of her. 
She works mainly in mixed media, including acrylics, oils, wax, pearlescent powders, gesso of different consistencies, stained glass pieces, decoupage, and unusual objects she finds washed up on the beach. My recent compositions are organic and primitive in nature and reveal a range of emotions from sadness, hope, peace, renewal, right through to euphoric joy. 
She is drawn again and again to beautiful ancient oak trees. “There is something so magical and stoic about them which resonates with me… from the roots that forage underground with determined courage to find their way to lofty blue skies and weather the strongest storms, yet remain steadfast in their purpose”.  
More recently she has been lured by the beauty and replenishment of the seashore. Her most recent collection is called “Holding on and Letting Go”… this collection symbolizes how we hold on to love, memories, respect, boundaries and “Let Go” of outcomes.  Her paintings show the energy and beauty of the sea… as it ebbs and flows….as it delivers and takes away…. and reminds us of the ever evolving treasures life reveals.Email : ladyvangough@charter.net        http://jacqui-hawk.fineartamerica.com         www.jacquihawk.wordpress.com
