About

Jacqueline Rolls is a U.K.-based sculptor and mixed media artist Her passion for creating with a variety of renewable and sustainable natural, found and man made materials and more traditional materials such as charcoal, ink, paint photography.

Her work is constantly evolving and is influenced by the need to observe and a desire to connect with and make sense of the world around us, responding to a sense of place,  an emotion, a journey with a story to tell, using pattern texture and form to interpret and inhabit.

Her time is divided between working on her projects and working as a professional willow sculptor.

In the autumn of 2019, Jacqueline was awarded a “talent development grant by the arts organisation a-space arts, to spend time as an artist in residence at  Furzey Gardens located in the New Forest where she was able to spend time investigating and experimenting with discarded materials in the garden.

In August 2021 Jacqueline was delighted to learn that she had been awarded a  “Developing your Creative Practice grant” from  Arts Council England, the funding enabled her time to take time out and undertake a residency at Tudor House Museum located in Southampton Hampshire.
