Jacqueline Davies is a surface pattern designer and painter with a passion for pattern & print. Her designs lend colour and optimism from the 1950’s era. Often working to a theme, Jacqueline selects colour combinations that really shouldn’t work but do. She describes her work as retro to modern and primitive to atomic. With a background that stems from printed textile design, fabric designers Ray Eames and Lieanne Day are an inspiration for many of her works. Other influences are drawn from all things Mid-Century, from Modernism to Polyneisia, all with a sense of revival of a bygone time.
