Jackie rediscovered her first love of textile art whilst battling against horizontal rain in the Isle of Man, circa 1999. A Foundation certificate in Art and Design encouraged continuation in Art after a move to Kamloops in 2003. Since then, 'Four seasons' cards and purses have been notable features of Jackie's portfolio, with individual pieces composed of layers of fabric, silk flowers and sequins, uniquely stitched together and further embellished by hand.
