***************
I have reduced the price of this painting due to the effect of Corona Virus on the world economy and my income. I am hoping it helps some buyers to beautify their homes in this current situation and be able to support a sole trader - artist (that's me), at the same time.
Prices will return to normal when the world does.

Jacquelyn Stephens paintings are inspired by microscopic other worlds. Particle physics, pulsating atoms, cell growth, minuscule amoebas and of course she can never escape the otherworldliness of underwater sea life. Jacquelyn grew in and by the sea at Flinders. Ultimately the paintings are about our sense of awe and wonder at these miraculous building blocks of life.
‘Inspired by the beautiful microscopic worlds of all existence and the life giving nature of water. This painting belongs to my 'Aquatic' Series. Here I delve into the beautiful parallels of art with science that I have bound with my love of effervescent of sea-life like bioluminescence, floaty algae, coral and jellyfish. Many of the building blocks of life that is so very real but cannot be seen with our normal everyday eyesight'.
'I wanted the painting to be sublime and beautiful yet also have a feeling of fragility and vulnerability. Calming on the mind and soft on the eye. A peaceful energy field of colour and light dancing across the picture plane that is both enchanting and mesmerising.’

Jacquelyn Stephens is a Melbourne based artist who has been successfully exhibiting her paintings for over 20 years since completing a BFA in Painting at the Victorian College of the Arts. Over the years she has had several successful solo and group exhibitions in commercial galleries and artists run spaces. Her paintings can be seen in many media publications and are held in private collections worldwide.
These small canvases look gorgeous on their own, intimate and sweet. But if you have more space and can hang a few together they make a spectacular Gallery Wall.
