ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Jacqui Hawk was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and grew up in the English Lake District. In 1994 she moved to the United States and now lives on CapeCod, Massachusetts.

She began her career in the arts over 30 years ago.She is an experiential artist, impacted by a deep visceral connection to her soul and the innate desire to depict her intimate feelings and views on to the canvas in a spontaneous, raw and abstract self-expression. Color choice and formal elements are spontaneous and intuitive and driven by her own internal dialogue, emotional in nature and a metaphor for her life’s journey, from British origins, travels around the world, personal struggles and challenges, events in society. They embody the magic and whimsical illusions of a child, the strength and wisdom of a woman with an old soul. She brings an emotional voice and dialogue to the struggles of friends and strangers, and visually transcends the impact of that meeting, the lessons learned, and the associated inherent truths, in color, pattern and texture.

Jacqui works mainly in acrylic and mixed media, including wax, pearlescent powders, gesso of different consistencies, stained glass pieces, collage, gold/silver leaf, and unusual objects she finds washed up on the beach. Her recent compositions are organic and primitive in nature and reveal a range of emotions and narrative expression of joy, hope, peace, renewal, enlightenment and self-awareness.

Her work has been featured in solo, invitational juried state and national exhibitions and represented in private and corporate collections in the US, Europe and Asia. She is a member of Cotuit Center for the Arts, Sandwich Arts Alliance and the Cape Cod
Museum of Art.

ABOUT THE ARTIST SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM:
The Town of Barnstable ‘Artist Spotlight’ program is an opportunity for artists (or groups) to display work at Town Hall. Some artists have never before displayed their work in a public setting and this is a chance for them to learn how to frame and present their work.  Others are well established and delighted to share their work with those that pass through Town Hall each day.

Many visitors may not typically head to galleries or other organizations to view artwork this program is an opportunity for both artists and visitors to connect in an unexpected way!

Visitors who use the meeting rooms will discover an inviting and attractive environment and have an opportunity to learn about some of the Cape’s local artists.
