Aqua Vitae Field V Painting

‘I am interested in making paintings with verve that breathe with an intense uplifting energy for those viewing them. I am totally inspired and fascinated by life forces with its contrasts of order and chaos, but especially in the patterns created by nature, particularly microscopic worlds, aquatic life and the infinite beauty and wonder of the natural world. Having grown up on the cliffs of Bass Strait I am also deeply inspired by the life giving waters of the sea. The power of a crashing wave, vast horizon lines, submerged views of light or miniscule single cell algae, these universes are forever influencing the pictorial spaces in what I do’. Jacquelyn Stephens is an Australian artist who has been successfully exhibiting her paintings for over 20 years since completing a BFA in Painting at the prestigious Victorian College of the Arts. She has gained an extensive knowledge of Art, art materials, techniques and theory from working closely within the arts industries and in her own art practice. Jacquelyn has had several successful solo and group exhibitions in commercial galleries and artists run spaces. Her paintings can be seen in many media publications and are held in private collections worldwide. Many of the key themes in her work have been informed by her interest in water, nature, science and the domain of medicine. Jacquelyn works everyday from her studio on the Melbourne Fringe. Her mission is to enhance and uplift people’s lives and living spaces with paintings that have beautiful colour energies and finesse. Jacquelyn is also available to create unique commissioned artworks for clients for a particular space or design requirement.
