Jacque Duffy is an artist and writer. Both her art and her writing take many forms. The art ranges from photorealism to complete abstraction through to illustration and graphic art. The writing stretches from poetry, educational children’s books, picture books and short stories. Along with all of her other projects Jacque is currently working on an art exhibition titled ‘Hindsight’, a non-fiction book about Mother Nature’s fury and a crime novel. She would like 60 hours in a day and unlimited funds, this way she is sure she could find the time to do more things. Born in Brisbane, Australia, Jacque has always been creative and entrepreneurial. At 14 years old she left school after being offered a job with a national department store chain as a visual merchandiser. At 15 she designed and made jewellery supplying exclusive fashion stores on Queensland’s Gold and Sunshine Coasts and a chain of up market department stores. With the extra money she earned from her jewellery, during her lunch break from work she put herself through ‘Gowrie’ and ‘June Dally Watkins’ elocution and deportment classes; she also bought a car had it re-upholstered and painted hot pink before she was old enough to drive. Jacque has always made up stories and created colourful pictures for them. In her teenage years she enjoyed writing elaborately decorated letters to pen friends all over the world. Creativity runs in the blood, Jacque’s two boys are both very inventive. Jacque and her husband like nothing better than encouraging them, feeding their creativity. |

 June 26, 2009 - The Moonwalker has left the building Oh my gosh, this morning over breakfast the news broke… I had hoped it was wrong. It wasn’t, the Moonwalker Michael Jackson is dead. I found that hard to write, Michael Jackson dead. Right now my husband, kids and I are watching Max TV, a michael Jackson concert in Bucharest. What an incredibly talented man, […]
I am sooo excited, tonight a public meeting (called by yours truly and friend) was held in our local library. It sounds totally dorky to be excited about a meeting in a library… but wait.
I know I left you hanging…. sorry about that. My excuse is a really terrible head cold - no I didn’t have crackling in my ears or rashers on my body and when I went to the doctor he did not prescribe oinkment. No Swine Flu for me. As anyone who has suffered a rotten head cold knows your brain turns to mush and you’re no good to anyone, hence no posts on the blog.
