Jacqui investigates stories of labour through the lens of gender and the working class of the western suburbs and is interested in the practice of listening.
Jacqui has presented work as part of One Night in Footscray, the West Projections Festival as well as galleries such as Seventh and Blindside. She has facilitated community art workshops across greater Melbourne.
Jacqui completed a Masters of Art in Public Spaces at RMIT in 2020 and a Bachelor of Fine Art Honours at Monash University in 2014.
