Jacqueline has also worked extensively in the historical technique of Gum Bichromates, first patented in 1855, which is essentially a combination of photography and painting, involving the use of various color pigments and exposure to sunlight.

Jacqueline's photographs have been shown in galleries and exhibitions in Toronto, and are also in private collections in Los Angeles, New York and Paris, where she lived for a time and also gave lectures on design and photography.

Jacqueline has also worked in the world of film and television, serving as Director of Photography and Producer for various productions, including the underground cult hit "Behind The Scenes" for CTV/ The Comedy Network. She also shot the opening credit portraits for the much acclaimed CBC series, "The Broad Side."

Most recently, Jacqueline served as Production Designer/Associate Producer and Photographer for the hilarious new all-female sketch show, "Listen Missy" currently airing on the W Network, The Women’s Network in Canada and The Comedy Channel in Australia.

Jacqueline's goal with her work is to capture timelessness in an image, and use the beautiful elements of classicism or formal qualities such as composition, light, colour and shape in new and postmodernist ways. She's always looking for new things to photograph in new ways that challenge her eye as a photographer as well as the imagination of the viewer.
