About Jacqueline Marr

Jacqueline Marr is a Scottish contemporary figurative oil painter. She is known for her realist figurative and portraiture paintings, and her ongoing “Wing and Feather” series, which has become a distinctive and evolving part of her practice. Jacqueline predominately paints in oils, patiently producing a small number of paintings each year, a virtue that benefits her collectors. Much emphasis is placed on the mastery of her skill and her perfectionist style, which is evident throughout the exquisite detail and every brushstroke of each piece.

Collections include Royal Scottish Academy, University of Dundee and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Jacqueline’s artwork has been featured in many publications and on television broadcasts including Grand Designs, Channel 4 in 2006. Jacqueline was also a heat finalist on Sky Arts Channel, Portrait Artist of the Year 2020, painting celebrity sitter Ricky Wilson, frontman of the Kaiser Chiefs and radio/TV presenter.
