Jacki Barklie – Mixed Media Artist – Back Studio (Stop 31)

Jacki is a mixed media artist driven by curiosity, constantly exploring methods, textures, and the materiality of art. Her creative process is guided by a desire to push boundaries and celebrate the unusual over the expected. At the heart of her work lies a search for fragility, desire, and the emotional resonance that art can hold.

Jacki creates art that is meant to feel, not just to be seen. Each work is designed to inspire, evoke emotion, and create a sense of belonging.

Her philosophy translates seamlessly across settings, from intimate residential interiors to expansive corporate spaces. Whether through textiles, wall hangings, or other mixed media forms, Jacki’s work offers more than visual beauty, it’s an experience.

Back Studio itself has a gallery-style layout, with soaring 5-metre walls covered in vibrant work and a photography area that evolves with each new event. Upstairs, visitors will find smaller, more intimate pieces, while Jacki will also be demonstrating her creative process throughout the weekend, offering insight into how her immersive pieces come to life.
