JACKIE (b. 1981) is a neurodivergent, endometriosis warrior folk/outsider artist from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. She spent years working as a PSW until the birth of her son prompted her to start a small home daycare.
During this time, she utilized leftover paint from the kids to create mirror-image paintings. She added ink or crayon to extract images from the splatters of paint that she perceived. Becoming deeply engrossed in this process, she produced hundreds of paintings. Jackie has continued creating art as a means to quiet her mind and body.
