"She has painted a lot in the House of her spiritual Master Claude MONET in Giverny (Eure) where she opened a studio in 1986. Now, she has definitely settled there.
She appears among the revived impressionists in the shadow of Claude MONET. She painted, with a stubborn determination, gardens, lakes, the white water lilies and the bridges of this exceptional Master. Jacqueline GOUGIS, close to Berthe MORISOT, asserts in her wake a distinguished art rarefied in beauty, welcoming a scruturising look. All in her work is fervour with a freshness of ideas in profusion. The pale ans iridescent painting of Jacqueline GOUGIS threw back a highest elegance.
Fond of "Poetic Reality", her paintings are like idyllic caresses.
Jacqueline GOUGIS took place among the worlwide Collections and Art Galleries and that shows the bright glamour of her art !"
