38: Jacqueline Wild - Glitter and Earth

Jacqueline Wild aka Glitter and Earth, creates whimsical illustrations inspired by the Cornish landscape and coastline. She lives in a 120 year old granite miners cottage close to Land’s End where tales of mermaids, witches and pirates fuel her imagination.Born in Greenwich, London, her holidays to Cornwall created memories of dancing along the shoreline and swimming in rockpools, which acted as a constant reminder to return.After gaining a degree in English at Worcester, Jacqueline and her husband- to-be packed all their belongings into a VW camper and made their way to Newquay to live a more holistic lifestyle and learn to surf.Jacqueline pursued a career as a freelance writer for many years but it wasn’t until the birth of her daughter that she really embraced her calling as an illustrator. Working on her iPad while her daughter slept enabled her to hone her skills and start to pave the way to a full time career as an artist.We talked aboutHow and why she started making digital artCreativity in early motherhoodHow we came to meetShe of the SeaHaving her art seenWhat the sea means to herUnderwater joyIn the Extended Episode www.patreon.com/lucyhpearce we talk in more detail about Digital art and Procreate and traditional vs modern techniques of draftsmanshipThe full story behind our collaborative She of the Sea projectFreedivingHow to get your work printed and published as an artistWe mentioned Phosphorescence – Julia BairdThe Rainbow Way: cultivating creativity in the midst of motherhoodShe of the SeaIvy NewportIthell Colquohoun – listen to the Creative Magic episode all about her Hosted on Acast.
