Born at the end of World War Two, Jacqueline Craske has been actively involved with world peace initiatives through the Baha’i movement since 1963; her work is a reflection of these two major influences — “that war should cease and that peace is not only possible, but inevitable.”

Her oeuvre spans three decades and many countries where she has lived and worked.  As a teacher she is known to be revolutionary in her methods and effective in her approach.  As an artist she has illustrated the magnum opus of Baha’u’llah’s philosophy, The Hidden Words, and other major works, although her method of illustration owes more to fine art than graphic ability.

In recent years early lyricism has given way to a fiercer approach, reflecting the moirés of the times.  The sensitivity and strength of the work has however not been sacrificed, and since establishing a studio in France work has become more abstract and skills continue to be extended.
