ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY

Jacqueline K Crofton was born in London of Russian and Romanian extraction. At 13 she gained a scholarship to Harrow School of Art where she studied anatomical drawing and fine art. The effect of this early formal education is strongly evident in her understanding of the structure of the nude form.

In 1986 Jacqueline illustrated the award winning book of poetry "Stolen Fire" by Lyubomir Levchev, which is included in the UNESCO library. Her work has also been silk screen printed in limited editions.

Her works are to be found in numerous private collections in the USA, UK, Japan, France, Spain and New Zealand and her paintings of restaurant scenes have been purchased by several famous restaurants including Langan's Brasserie in London.

Jacqueline has had many successful exhibitions around the world including France, Spain, America, Tahiti and London.
