Jackie Bradshaw
Jackie Bradshaw is a self-taught folk and outsider artist in Kitchener, Ontario. Her paintings feel like storybooks opened in the middle of a dream. She works in acrylic and watercolour, and found her way into art in an everyday place: her home daycare, where she used leftover paint to make mirror-image blots and then found tiny worlds inside them. Jackie is neurodivergent and lives with chronic illness, and she talks about painting as a way to keep the demons at bay. Her work mixes survival, play and joy. Rivers grow faces, trees sprout arms, houses float, and small figures wander through tender, surreal landscapes that feel both childlike and wise.
Inspired by Maud Lewis (she is painting her whole house), and active in community projects from hydro-pole murals to group shows, Jackie has work in private collections around the world.
