	Born in London, Jacqueline’s studies in the fine and applied arts began at Harlow Technical College, Essex in 1985 with a one-year foundation course in the visual arts. The following year she enrolled at the West Surrey College of Art in Farnham, Surrey within the faculty of  three-dimensional design, specialising in metalwork and jewellery (student of Prof. Ian Dumelow and Cynthia Cousens). In 1988 she spent one semester of her studies at the Fachhochschule (College of Art and Design) under Prof. Sigrid Delius in Düsseldorf, Germany.  She graduated  in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and continued her studies in art specialising in jewellery and goldsmithing at the Royal College of Art in London (student of David Watkins, Michael Rowe, Jacqueline Mina, Cynthia Cousens, Kevin Coates and Onno Boekhoudt). In 1991 she graduated with a Master of Arts degree and in 1992 moved to Padua, Italy with the goldsmith Giovanni Corvaja where they shared a workshop together for 9 years before moving to Todi, in the region of Umbria (near Rome and Florence) in 2001. Jacqueline still resides in Italy and has her own workshop in Todi, Umbria.
