Jackie has been invited to take part in exhibitions at museums in Mexico, Venezuela and Chile at the beginning of 2008. Art historian Andrea Basedow about Jackie Sleper: ‘She is naturally adept at a wide variety of artistic skills. By applying different techniques within a single piece, she creates fields of tension that capture our attention. At the same time, she is not afraid to celebrate beauty, affluence, joy of life and a sense of playfulness and elegance in her work, much like the artists at the courts during the Italian Renaissance.’
