About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Mallegni is an award-winning artist whose sculptures embody balance and simplicity, minimalism
and beauty. Sculpture reminiscent of boat and suspended cocoon forms constructed from Japanese-style
handmade paper along with natural materials such as tamarisk, rattan, olive woods and alabaster evoke
calm and introspection.

Jacqueline’s decades-long immersion into the philosophies of simplicity, humility and the appreciation of
non-permanence found in nature have guided her toward a deeper relationship with the materials used in
her art work. "Working with natural materials opens my eyes to a way of seeing the world around me,
affirms my intuition and belief that it is possible to integrate art as a way of being and encourages my
development of focus and intent, infusing it with subtlety and fluidity.”
