New Works Available by Jackie Bradshaw in the FolkArtwork Shop​

Whenever I had the idea to start the FolkArtwork Collective, there was one person I had in mind at the top of my list, and that was Jackie Bradshaw. I am so delighted to be such a small part of Jackie’s artistic journey. One of the kindest, warmest, and most talented artists I’ve had a chance to work with. I am very excited that whenever I ask Jackie what she’s working on next, she sends over nothing but magic. Check them out now!

These artists are working and adding more works to the shop, plus we will continue to add more works and artists in the coming months… stay tuned!

JACKIE BRADSHAW

JACKIE BRADSHAW is a neurodivergent, endometriosis warrior folk/outsider artist from Kitchener Ontario Canada. I worked as a PSW for many years until the birth of my son when I had a small home daycare and would use the kids’ leftover paints to make mirror image paintings which I would add ink or crayon to pull out images that I could see in the splatters of paint. I got obsessed and made hundreds of them and continued making art since as a means to quiet my mind and body. Thank you so much for reading this and looking at my art. Be well.
