"Jacqueline Hick was a brilliant Australian artist whose work primarily arose from the circumstances of her life. Talented in any medium she chose, Hick was able to achieve her aim of representing the reality of her subjects as well as a personal reaction to them. Her reactions could vary, from humorous, amused satire to deep compassion or trenchant comment. She loved representing the human figure but also expressed the beauty of the Australian landscape and a fascination with music performance, among many other subjects."
