Jacqueline Savidge - Artist on Hydra Island Greece

In addition to original paintings of Hydra's flora, land and seascapes, she tackles projects such as recycle art, papier mache & needlepoint.

Biography

Passionate about drawing and the creative arts from a very young age, but having been discouraged from following artistic studies, she graduated from Oxford’s Dorset House as a qualified Occupational Therapist in 1980 and subsequently spent six months travelling through India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives – an experience which greatly influenced her future.

Her return to London led her to take her first steps in developing her artistic career. After a few years of working as an autodidactic Graphic Designer she discovered Greece and the island of Hydra – the perfect place to develop her self-taught painting.
Her most recent work, in needlepoint and using textiles together with machine and hand embroidery, brings together her skills as a dressmaker with her eye for design.
