Hello! I'm Jackie.

I'm a self-taught

Folk/Outsider Artist

I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada with my son, Ezra, my cat, Iris, and my husband Jesse, who is a custodian and a musician. I'm in the process of painting the inside of my entire home like Maud Lewis.

I've sold many original artworks to private collectors around the world and have taught art classes with The Button Factory in Waterloo.

How I got into painting

I spent many years working in my community as a Personal Support Worker, but when I had my son, Ezra, I started a small home daycare.

It was then that I started using the leftover paint on the trays (and the kids!) and began making mirror image paintings. I grew obsessed and created a prolific amount of paintings, and I've been painting religiously ever since.
