Artist biography

She is regularly invited to participant in Experimentelle, a bienniale taking place in regional Southern Germany and neighbouring Switzerland, France and Austria. In 2018 Jacqui Colley was the recipient of the Parkin Prize, New Zealand’s premier drawing award. She studied design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town, South Africa. She was born in Zambia.

‘Painting is inherent for me, it’s a life-force and an embodied experience. I feel fortunate to live so close to nature – the elements are a constant presence, colliding weather, the surrounding hills, the harbour activity and the sea. Wellington is beautiful and uncomfortable – a perfectly stimulating and contradictory place to immerse myself in my practice.’
