Inspired by mid-century design, vintage hand-drawn ads and typography, Jacqueline keeps her studio filled with a mad mix of uplifting pastel-hued ephemera, setting the tone for her playful illustrations.

"My work is definitely all about positivity and optimism. I think it comes from a place of wanting to cheer the viewer up, capture some kind of nostalgia. The minute we look back, we think things were easier or better, which is not true at all. The nostalgia elicits the response of optimism or happiness, and if you try to capture that it can lend to the feeling of happiness. I don't know if it does or not, but I think that's what I'm trying to do."
