Jacqueline Osborn was born and raised in London, England to a family with a rich tradition of painting. Her talents were recognized very early and eventually entered the Southend School of Art, graduating with honors in fashion illustration. She has worked as both a fashion designer and illustrator and held tenure as the staff illustrator for Sunset Magazine.

Like many illustrators and designers, she ultimately needed to spread her wings and explore a more personal and satisfying means of expressing her talents. She is now painting full time, and over the years, has produced an impressive body of work.
