Biography

Contemporary Australian artist Jacqui Armstrong has experienced a keen interest in the visual arts since she was young, and spent much of her youth consuming art books, visiting galleries and admiring the works of Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali. Originally from the United Kingdom, Jacqui grew up on the north west coast of Tasmania and moved to Sydney In 1982. She now resides in Perth, since moving there in 2010. Drawn to the liberal and free-forming expression of abstract, Jacqui utilises it to convey uniquely personal and resonating narratives. Through exploring the style’s limitless parameters, she’s been inspired by the works of Mexican abstract artist Beatriz Simón and Australian contemporary Waldemar Kolbusz. Since 2020, her works have appeared in numerous exhibitions and art awards in Perth and regional WA, and have been featured in Havenist, Artistcloseup and Art Edit magazines.
