Jacqui Reynard: A Drive to Create
SummaryJacqui Reynard was born in Taranaki and spent her childhood growing up in Wanganui. Jacqui has always been passionate about the arts and has had a drive to create since early childhood. This has led to explorations of different mediums and is a journey that is on-going for her as a multimedia visual artist.

In 2008, she completed her Diploma of Visual Arts, Aka Rakai Toi-Level 6 at the BOP Polytechnic. To date, Jacqui has participated in exhibitions in Northland, Auckland, and throughout the Bay of Plenty. As a mosaic artist she has worked on private commissions and contributed to large outdoor community projects.
For every piece of work that she is involved with, be it a painting or a mosaic, there is an emotive journey that is embarked upon only through the process of art making. Inspiration is drawn from day-to-day encounters and different life experiences.
“I enjoy pushing the boundaries and making exciting discoveries within the different mediums I use and also within myself,” says Jacqui.
“There are highs and lows along the way. I am challenged-excited-contemplative yet also exhilarated.
“Within each piece I am drawn to what relationships develop both between the differing textures and layers of the mediums and also how the concept may evolve.
“For me art is a journey of personal growth, the art-making process is just as fulfilling as the final outcome.”

The painting 'Alive' was exhibited in Creative Tauranga's hugely successful 'Lifestyles of the Bay' exhibition in 2010.
Jacqui has exhibited widely in the Bay of Plenty since 2007 and has exhibited in the popular Bethlehem College Art Exhibition. She was also one of the artists featured in last year's 'Double Vision' exhibition at the Creative Tauranga Community Gallery.
One of Jacqui's goals is to open her own gallery and artspace in Te Puke where she can exhibit her work and the work of other local artists.
Jacqui welcomes commission work and can be contacted at jax.r@xtra.co.nz.
