Born in 1963 and educated in Scotland, Jacqueline Stanhope has been painting and selling horse portraits in oils since childhood. By the age of fourteen she had already executed her first commission, a portrait of legendary racehorse Nijinsky. Established as one of the finest equine and canine artists, Jacqueline’s artwork can be found in collections the world over. For the Fine Art Trade Guild exhibition, she prepared a beautifully observed oil painting of her own greyhound asleep. Both striking and gentle, this lovely portrait is typical of the 'close-up-and-personal' style that is the Stanhope trademark. Her versatile and sympathetic style has led to a significant number of private commissions, with most clients coming from the racing and breeding community. Jacqueline continues to painstakingly capture precise and intimate details of her subjects, giving her paintings not only aesthetic beauty, but also personalities. Jacqueline’s work is treasured by patrons and collectors alike, and continues to stand out among British traditional and contemporary fine art.
