Jacqui Henderson is an artist living in the beautiful Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia, with her loving husband and two Tonkinese cats. Her day starts with some meditation and yoga, followed by a ride on her E-bike around the hills she calls home. Jacqui values a balanced and healthy lifestyle and loves connecting art with heart.
Despite not having any formal training in art, Jacqui discovered her passion for painting in 2010 when a friend gave her some paints and a canvas during a difficult time. She has been painting ever since and has achieved many milestones including her first commission and then winning first prize at Art Whitsundays 2015 Annual Exhibition.
Jacqui has explored many mediums, including acrylics, pastels, watercolour, ink, and even house paint, to create art that connects to people’s emotions and brings more joy into their world.
Jacqui compiled her artwork from her granddaughter’s first year into a book, and it brings her immense joy as her granddaughter reads it to her even four years later.
Jacqui’s passion for art and her true heart connections inspires people who want to draw and connect to their hearts, allowing their inner child to come out and play. Her artwork celebrates true heart connections, and she believes that anyone can draw when they connect to their inner child and let themselves have fun.
