Jacqueline Stuerzl is a contemporary artist living in Chilliwack, BC. She grew up in the colourful prairies of Manitoba and followed her heart to the mountains as a young adult.
Her vibrant and expressive portrait paintings are a celebration of life, featuring glowing transparent layers, organic shapes, and harmonious colour palettes. She translates the beauty of the natural world into stunning visual narratives, immersing the observer in the wonder and majesty of the great outdoors.
Whether exploring flora or fauna, her work celebrates the soul in all things and encapsulates her reverence for the beauty and sacredness inherent in all aspects of life.
