She/Her
THE ARTIST
Of Fijian and Irish heritage and descent, Jacquie aka Burkee, is a creative force with roots deeply intertwined in both her Kiwi and Pasifika heritage.
The fusion of culture and her continuous connection with the ocean, nature and contemporary life serves as a wellspring of inspiration for her visual narratives.
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. 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, 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 Mumma. Juggling life and bedtime stories, she effortlessly weaves the responsibilities of motherhood into her personal & collaborative business endeavours.
