Profile Image of Jackie by Ian Fletcher
Jackie Williams is a Lancashire-based painter whose work explores the shifting energies of landscape and light. Working primarily in acrylic, she creates expressive, textural pieces that move between abstraction and realism — often inspired by the wild moorlands, coastal paths, and garden spaces around her home in Heapey, near Chorley. Her practice balances instinctive mark-making with an emotional response to nature, capturing fleeting moments of weather, movement, and memory.
Through her online space heapeygallery.co.uk and her social media presence, Jackie shares not just her finished pieces but glimpses into her creative process, inviting collectors and art lovers into the rhythm of her artistic life. Whether working on large-scale canvases or more intimate studies, her palette ranges from the soft and earthy to the bold and radiant — always with a strong sense of atmosphere and place.
Jackie’s work has found homes across the UK and continues to resonate with those who are drawn to the beauty in the everyday landscape. She is one of the exhibiting artists featured in the Gathered Works Summer Exhibition at BL6 Studios in Horwich, 2025.
Summer Breeze
Summer Breeze lives up to its name. This is a bold, expressive painting that captures that exact moment when a warm wind sweeps through a field of flowers, everything moving, dancing, shifting.
Jackie doesn’t paint every petal or stem. She doesn’t need to. What she gives us is the feeling of it. The energy, the light, the sheer joy of a summer’s day set loose on canvas.
There’s no tidy structure here, and that’s the point. This is nature in motion. Rich golds, deep purples, burnt orange and flashes of green all clash and blend with intent. It’s wild and vibrant, but controlled enough that it draws you in rather than overwhelms. There’s a rhythm to it. A hum. Stand in front of it and you almost expect the scent of flowers to hit you.
Something about it just lifts the atmosphere. For collectors who like their artwork to make an entrance, Summer Breeze doesn’t whisper. It walks in, opens the windows, and lets the light flood in.

Dunes
There’s something timeless about this piece.
No buildings, no people, no distractions. Just space. Just light and earth. It’s got that raw honesty that reminds you of early morning walks or the hush before a weather change.
The colours are beautifully restrained — soft greys, ochres, hints of slate and salt. Williams hasn’t overworked it. You can see the brushstrokes, feel the texture, almost smell the sea air.
