Jacqueline and her husband Jim reside in Prince Rupert on the northcoast of British Columbia, Canada. They are both proud parents and granparents.

Being of a curious nature and with a passion for acquiring new skills and knowledge Jacqueline, who loves a challenge, has dabbled in a number of various art forms over the years . Nothing has captured her interst quite like bead work though. It all began in 2003 while browsing in a magazine store for inspiration...she came across a beading magazine with beading tecniques that she had never heard of before. She was definitely curious...and so it began...the journey of a bead addict.

Thousands of beads and many newly aquired skills later, Jacqueline is still intrigued with the endless creativity that this art form has to offer. New and exciting challenges are always presenting themselves...making her own beads, pendants and earrings from Polymer Clay or PMC(Precious Metal Clay is fine silver in clay form that once fired produces a piece of actual fine silver metal), working with wire to also create unique earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets, beading around objects, off loom bead weaving, bead embroidery...will it ever end?  I Think Not!

The Journey continues as she scours the world via the internet to find new and interesting products to add to her enormous collection of beads and to incorporate into her designs. This collection has grown to over take the lower level of her home which has become her home based studio.

She has had the oportunity to work and share her knowledge in a small local bead store (which has since closed). She is a working member of the local artist's cooperative,  The North Coast Artist's Co-op, also known as, The Ice House Gallery, and serves on the Board of Directors as Treasurer.

Jacqueline is self taught in her endeavors with no formal training of any kind. After 25 years in the Hospitality Industry she felt it was time to retire and venture into something new. What started out as a form of relaxation has turned into a full time, home based business with products being sold to many local customers, tourists, small gift shops and galleries and patrons from all over the world via the internet.
