At a very young age Jacqueline moved to Paris to fcomplete her studies. Thanks to the teachings of Claude Perset and a pupil of Georges Braque she settled in France, at the home of the artist Manfredo Borsi , where she frequented André Verdet and the poet Jacques Prévert, as well as Picasso, Chagall, and Magnelli. 1955  was a turning point for Jacqueline when she travelled to Mexico and was introduced to Diego Rivera, who  later became her mentor and friend. Her return to Haiti inspired a series of new paintings depicting local landscapes and floral scenes.

In the early 1970s, Jacqueline settled in Pisa with her late husband and fellow artist, Victor Nesti. Haiti has continued continued to inspire many of her paintings with their vivid  and fascinating market scenes, Haiti carnival scenes and exotic flowers. Jacqueline has also painted a number of religious paintings. During her career spaning 50 years, Jacqueline has exhibited  her work all over the world, including the Guggenheim in New York. Many of her paintings are captured on the new Jacqueline Nesti Joseph website with our very best wishes.
