In the vibrant tapestry of Auckland, New Zealand, resides Burkee 'aka' Jacquie Burke. Born in Aotearoa (New Zealand) of Fijian Irish heritage and descent - Burkee is a creative force with roots deeply intertwined in both her Kiwi and Pasifika heritage.

The fusion of rich cultures and her continuous connection with the ocean, nature and contemporary life serves as a wellspring of inspiration for her thoughtful and visual narratives. Each, tell a story that goes beyond the surface infusing her collective body of work with a unique and diverse perspective. 

As a visual artist, Jacquie's canvas is a testament to the immersion of tradition and modernity. Her work, both subject, style and medium, speaks a language of diversity, that becomes a dance between two worlds, creating an artistic symphony that is captivating and connective. Merging nostalgic memories of her past, with pastimes and passions are just a small part of the fuel that feeds her creativity. 

A conceptual & graphic designer by trade, design project manager, self-taught painter, photographer & now 'artpreneur' – Jacquie is excited to embark on her emerging visual artist journey within her founded platform.

Beyond the art, Jacquie wears the hat of a dedicated Mama. Juggling life and bedtime stories, she effortlessly weaves the responsibilities of motherhood into her personal & collaborative business endeavours.
