# 82 - Bamboo Forest Painting

Jacqueline Mac Mootry-Everaert is a Dutch artist who lived and worked in Brazil, the Caribbean and The Netherlands. She travelled around the world for 15 years, finding inspiration on all (but one) continents. She has exibited in London, New york, Paris, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and other major cities. Her work is held in private collections around the globe. Dynamic colors, rich depth and atmosphere through layers and textures are the artist's trademark. Jacqueline received a 3-year classical education in 17th Century techniques and realistic oil painting in The Netherlands, and more recently in figure/nude drawing at the Klassieke Academie Groningen, also in The Netherlands. Since 2016 she found her passion in Abstract Expressionism, in an effort to counterbalance the negativity that seemed to flood the world (the aftermath of terrorism, hybrid warfare, covid, polarisation, racism, political repression) and contributing in a ever so small way, to a more positve, beautiful reality through the power of bold and vivid color.
