JACKIE BRADSHAW Freak Storms (2022) // Watercolour on paper; 11 inches x 15 inches
> JACKIE BRADSHAW is a neurodivergent, endometriosis warrior folk/outsider artist from Kitchener Ontario Canada. She worked as a PSW for many years until the birth of her son when she had a small home daycare and would use the kids’ leftover paints to make mirror image paintings. Jackie would add ink or crayon to pull out images that I could see in the splatters of paint. She soon became obsessed and made hundreds of them and continued making art as a means to quiet the mind and body.

About the FolkArtwork Collective
It brings me great pleasure to introduce the FolkArtwork Collective — a fantastic group of self-taught and emerging artists from across the globe. Jackie Bradshaw, Esteban Whiteside, Sarah Lee, and Noel Hatfield are the first artists to bring original artwork directly to the FolkArtwork web store on both FolkArtwork.art/shop and directly on Instagram. I am very pleased to also add Reneesha Mccoy, Jordan Sullivan, Gabrielle K Brown, Christopher Bame, Max Kuhn, Ben Gardner and in 2024, Melody Jean Moulton, Dinah Hanson-Carrillo, Lindsay Carraway, Kathy Edwards Hayslett, and Lorena Eliasen to the collective.
After four years of running this account, sharing daily art by great outsider and self-taught artists who are no longer with us, I am thrilled to share this space with current artists to assist in their artistic journey and bring their artwork to the masses and maybe to a home near you.
I am excited to see FolkArtwork evolve and grow. It will continue to share daily outsider artwork by some of the greatest artists ever, pictures from travels across the country, visiting unknown and hidden art environments, and now offering original artwork for sale.
