Monique Jackett

“My paintings delve into the beauty and complexity of the natural world, offering more than just a representation of scenery—they are reflections of emotion, perspective, and possibility. Through vibrant layers and textured strokes, I strive to create paintings that inspire viewers to pause, reflect, and see the world anew”. 

Monique Jackett is a mixed media artist, based in the Hawkes Bay. She lives on a lifestyle block with her husband, two children and a menagerie of rescue farm animals. She is also a part time primary teacher and musician.

The play of light in dawn or dusk skies, windswept coastlines and vast landscapes around Aotearoa provide a channel and inspiration for Monique’s paintings that are created primarily with acrylic and oil techniques in a semi-abstract style. 

Monique strives to create alluring and enchanting artworks that take you to a place of inner reflection and appreciation of the beauty of Aotearoa.
