Celebrating Animals and Nature

Jacqueline “Jacqui” Cleijne is a self-taught artist with a passion for depicting Tasmanian animals and nature, a delightful task given the state’s natural picturesque serenity and unique native animal life. Born in Hobart, Tasmania, Jacqui lived and worked for a period as an Architectural Draftsperson in Queensland, returning back to Tasmania in the late 80’s to pursue her drafting career and follow her passion for art. “My work as a draftsperson was full of challenges inherent in the building industry, but it taught me so much and it further developed my natural ability to draw.” Many
