Currently taking up her BA in Fine Art (Painting) at La Salle- SIA College of Fine Arts and a member of the traditional ensemble Gamelan Asmaradana.


Aspires to exhibit her artworks overseas as well as show more of them in Singapore. You can view Jacki’s works at her website, wackojacko.multiply.com. She’s also set to exhibit her works in the Philippines and at Chicago’s Woman Made Gallery.


Passionate about you guessed it, art and music. Egon Schiele, Rene Magritte, Hieronymus Bosch and Aikido Ikeda are just some of the artists Jacklyn admires. She was introduced to the traditional Indonesian music of the gamelan in a class in 1999 and two years later, started learning an instrument called the gender. As a member of La Salle- SIA’s musical ensemble, she has since performed in Indonesia, Laos and South Korea.


Gets her kicks by swimming at the beach or in a pool, and visiting the gym. “I also have three terrapins,” she shares. She likewise once appeared in the MTV reality programme It’s My Life. “It’s about ordinary people living ordinary lives. I received mail from the Philippines from young people who told me that I inspired them to make art, and I even got recognised by people in the streets in Indonesia a year after the show ended!


Hangs out at the Esplanade and Substation. If not, catch her at Clarke Quay bars or at Zouk.

Motto “Everything fizzles like pop soda but when the fizzle is gone, what remains is what you’re looking for.”


Her Idea of a New Man “Someone who’s fashionable, creative and uber-sexual! But also a little ‘traditional’, values family and takes care of his woman.”

9th International Open - Group Exhibition
2006-03-03 until 2006-03-30
Woman Made Gallery
Chicago, IL, USA United States of America
 

 The 9th International Open group exhibition, an annual celebration during Women's History Month features artwork in all media by 39 women artists from a variety of US states and from overseas. Entries were juried by Chicago-based writer and art critic Margaret Hawkins. In her juror statement Ms. Hawkins comments: "Jurying the 9th International Open for Woman Made Gallery was challenging to say the least with almost 1200 entries (individual images) in a broad range of media from around the world. By necessity I found myself simply choosing the work I loved because I couldn't think of any other way to narrow the field and get this tiger by the tail..."
