2020 ONLINE! with Jacqueline Nicholls

Jacqueline Nicholls is a London-based fine artist. Nicholls uses art to explore and challenge traditional Jewish ideas in untraditional ways. She have used many different media and craft techniques - drawings, print, embroidery, tailoring, paper-cutting, knitting - to express the concepts.

Nicholls initially trained as an architect, and then went on to study to be a medical illustrator - learning anatomy and precise observational drawing along the way. But I got distracted by fine art, and its potential to develop and express ideas through meticulous making. She also teach in adult Jewish education: "my art has been a bringing together of the art studio and the beit midrash (traditional Jewish place of study and learning). In the artwork I will often quote the texts that have inspired, challenged and motivated me to form a response".
