Jacki Barklie’s art inspiration is in response to her exposure and colourful upbringing in Africa. 

Jacki is a multi-disciplinary artist working across a range of mediums including acrylics, printmaking, papier collie, textile design and photography.

Jacki's curiosity is expressed in her exploration of materials and methods, often indoctrinated and spontaneous. Jacki's diverse works express the tensions between idea and image, emotion and decorative pleasure. Jacki’s attention to aesthetics is an attempt to activate the viewers senses and emotion - where form meets function.
