Jacqueline is the artist behind Willow and Crafts, a full-time willow sculptor creating bespoke, sustainable artworks for homes, events, and public spaces. With a passion for nature and years of experience, she transforms natural materials into expressive, handcrafted sculptures that bring warmth and character to any setting. She also runs friendly, relaxing willow weaving workshops-welcoming spaces where anyone can unwind, get creative, and connect with nature, no experience needed.

I am a writer and a visual artist. I am passionate about intersectional inclusion and my practice supports people to express their identities and experiences through creative writing and visual art. I believe that story-telling through words and images is a powerful tool for building and strengthening communities. My skills include workshop facilitation, and event and project planning and management. I focus on creating inclusive communities, whether for a one off workshop or a long term plan. If you want to ignite imaginations and inspire empathy, I am ready to work with you. I am also a post graduate researcher in Creative Writing at the University of Portsmouth.
