Jacqueline Moore
founder/artist/visionary
"I would describe my work as that of a storyteller. Journaling a story that travels through the ages, through history, through event and moment, and recording them in paint. The story seeks to capture with colour, shape, shadow and layer, a notable tale. With small detailed line, and passionate coloured expression of voice, that tale is noted in paint upon a surface. Each new painting marks its own starting point in an on-going relationship between myself and the world. The world of now, and the world of yesterday, and my colourful interpretation of it. I discover my stories by looking in on life, with a thirst and fascination for event, motion, imagination and history. I leave my thoughts by painting them down on to the wood and on to the canvas of glass."

Jacqueline Moore is an English painter, creator, designer, and restorer specializing in the decorative arts. Originally touted and known for her works on wood, her inspirations have largely derived from traditional and classical subjects such as Chinoiserie, Art Nouveau, Commedia Dell’Arte, Moorish Architecture, Arts & Crafts, and the Neo-Classical. She has moved her passions in the art field over the years to explore decorative works on linen and textiles, metals, and paper. Moore has designed wall panels, murals, paintings, tables, chairs and cabinets, and also a hand painted decorative line of wood tiles for the home interior.
In 2018, Moore launched a new collection of Verre Églomisé glass works. These reverse painted panels of glass, designed, engraved, decorated and gilded in brilliant silver and gold, are luxury applications for interiors. Used to embellish furnishings, fixtures, decorative objects, mirrors and paintings, these works are like theatre, full of light, layer, movement and colour. From each angle viewed, you will notice something different about them.​​​

Chloe Brown artist/since 2019
Chloe wasn't always on the path to becoming an artist by trade– at least it didn't look like it from the outside. With a passion for understanding the human condition, she earned a degree in neuroscience thinking she would find answers by studying the brain. To her disappointment, she came away from her science classes with yet more questions. However, she found a taste of what she was searching for in an unexpected place: her art classes. Alongside her major, she chose to minor in studio art, taking classes that ranged from drawing to painting to printmaking and even some digital design. What was originally a creative outlet to balance out the heavy science revealed itself to be her true passion (and talent).
​Upon graduating, she felt a soul-crushing discouragement at the trajectory she was supposed to take with her degree. But life does as life does, and it seemed the universe had different plans for her. In a divinely orchestrated turn of events, she was linked up with Jacqueline through a family friend. As it turned out, Jacqueline was looking to bring on an extra team member to help with the influx of interest in her newly honed craft of Verre églomisé. Seeing artistic potential and curiosity in Chloe, Jacqueline took a leap of faith in hiring her and the rest is history.
​
Those that know her best would probably say Chloe was always destined to do something creative and unconventional. Having had an affinity for the arts since very early on, it's not really a surprise that she ended up here. She is excited for the future of JMD and is eternally grateful to have this opportunity to learn from one of the best.
"I admire that Jacqueline has honed such a strong signature style in her work. I'm still finding my artistic identity, but it helps having a mentor who both encourages my creative freedom and trusts my vision enough to let me spread my wings. I'm starting to feel like a real professional– my confidence grows with each project we complete! It's an honor and privilege to add my voice to the works of JMD."
