Ms Jacquat discovered sculpting by accident in 2001 when she wandered into a barn to find someone sculpting. She bought a piece of soapstone - and so began her career as a sculptor. By 2002 she was already working in a studio and holding regular exhibitions.
Ms Jacquat, originally from Switzerland, works mostly in hard stone - especially marble, granite, basalt and limestone - as well as wood.
She favours simple, uncluttered designs and loves to include contrasts in her work, such as smooth and rough surfaces.
"I think it's great when people can't help but touch my work. I like that."
