Biography
Jackie Duck is a Coquitlam born artist with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication from Capilano University and a diploma in Animation Concept Art from Vancouver Film School. While her primary focus and passion lie in painting and environment design for animation, Jackie has explored a wide variety of mediums – ranging from type design to watercolours – and continues to broaden her love of art in joining the Place des Arts community.
Artist Statement
My creative journey this year has focused around setting aside my love of digital painting for the time being to return to my love of traditional painting – in this case exploring the medium of acrylic paint. The pieces in this exhibition are all about exploration – exploration of technique and lighting, of colour palettes and composition, and of the city of Rome – all of which I count myself lucky enough to have explored in the 2025/2026 season.
