It is the human psyche and the way people connect with each other and their spaces that has sustained Jacki Barklie’s love for making art for more than 30 years. She often draws from her exposure to culture and colourful upbringing in Africa.  

Jacki is a multi-disciplinary artist, she works across a range of mediums including acrylics, printmaking , photography, textile art and more recently three dimensional work.

It’s her curiosity in the making of art where she likes to experiment with materials and methods, pushing the process further, often indoctrinated and spontaneous endeavouring to celebrate the unusual rather than the normal.
