Jackie Gwyther
Jackie is an oil painter based in Sevenoaks, Kent. The intriguing and intricate beauty of nature inspires her to create intelligent paintings celebrating the natural world around her.  Her work is recognisable by her realistic style, delicacy of touch, combined with a sensitive use of harmonious natural colours and balanced close-up compositions. Her daily country walks give her time and space to notice and relish the subtle beauty of plants, whose aesthetics qualities are often disregarded by the passer-by. A particular quality catches her interest, be it the intriguing light playing over the leaves, the negative shapes drawing her in, the decorative shapes of shadows or the translucency of leaves against the sky.  Jackie is inspired to elevate the plant by capturing these elusive qualities in oil paint. 

Jackie is a fellow of the Society of Botanical Artists (SBA), The Sevenoaks Visual Arts Forum, The Stone Street Art Group, Art in June and South East Open Studios. She has exhibited with The Royal Society of British Artists 2022  and was long-listed for the Jackson’s Painting Prize 2022. She has a life sized portrait on permanent display in Sevenoaks town centre and has a painting included in ‘Portraits of NHS Heroes’ book curated by Tom Croft.
