About Jacky
I'm a freelance artist and textile designer specialising in handcrafted batik. My designs are influenced by the vivid colours, amazing patterns and textures in our natural surroundings.
Using detailed pencil drawing I combine shape, colour and texture to create original designs on silk. I use the traditional technique of batik which involves wax resist and over dyeing, but in a modern way to produce fresh vibrant designs.
​​
I create handcrafted batik designs on silk available unframed or in simple white box frames and unique silk scarves. I have expanded my range using digital printing to produce cushions and cards.
Education and experience:
I have a BA Hons in Printed Textiles and Batik from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee.
​
I've been involved with art and design, working as freelance textile designer, retail fashion buyer, primary school teaching assistant and community artist.
