Jackie Ward

Original Paintings by artist Jackie Ward

Featured artist of the 'International Artist Magazine'.

Jackie Ward was born in Coventry, Warwickshire in 1947 and left comprehensive school at the age of 16.
 
Jackie applied to work in an exclusive commercial art studio but told by the secretary, "We don't take girls!" - It was like that in those days, says Jackie, but she persisted and eventually was given a job as a graphic artist, where she worked successfully in the studio for 8 years and then leaving to take up the post as graphic artist for Coventry City Council.
 
Married in 1970 Jackie moved to Leicestershire, but still working in Coventry, and after having identical twin sons in 1978, worked in a local school as an artist.
 
15 years ago Jackie decided to start an after school art and craft club for young people aged 8+ in a large extension to her Leicestershire home. Some children who began when they were 8 are still attending today and are taking driving lessons too!.
 
Having always painted fine art for pleasure, although completely self taught, and as well as the art club still going strong, Jackie enjoys painting for herself in oil and acrylic.

With Jackies artistic flexibility and her past influences she is able to create pieces of art in a wide variety of subjects and medium, her art is admired by galleries and collecters alike including such celebrities as Martin Clunes of "doc Martin" fame.

Jackie Ward is truly the artist to the stars!
