Jacquie Vaux’s paintings always demonstrate her deep love of wildlife. “I represent the animals I paint as sincerely as possible. With each painting, I strive to capture the individual personality of a special animal at a particular moment.”

Vaux grew up with a keen appreciation of nature. “I have always lived in the West. My grandmother encouraged my love of nature and painting during my childhood.”

Jacquie and her husband have traveled all over the world to obtain the photos she uses for her paintings. Their trip to Africa was a life-changing experience for Ms. Vaux. To the present day, her paintings of African wildlife reflect her first-hand adventure.

Now a full-time resident of Fort Collins, Colorado,she hikes the Front Range regularly carrying her camera to capture the local wildlife. Although she has worked in several different painting media including oils, acrylics and gouache, transparent watercolors remain her favorite. During her career, Jacquie Vaux has had more than 50 paintings reproduced into limited edition prints, all of which have sold out.
