Jackie Boberg

My work is deeply shaped by experiences growing up in London in the 60’s, when fashion and music were exploding, where clothing became art, and design burst into the everyday. I have a simple aim - to create dynamic, vibrant works that jump on and off the wall.

When faced with a blank canvas, I seek out materials that will inspire my internal dialogue. Though I may gather my media, plan a color scheme, and start with a thumbnail of a design, I most often end up following the way the materials balance as they hit the canvas.

While earning a living in tech in Silicon Valley and raising two children, I took every community college art course available in my spare time, and sought out teaching artists and mentors to help hone my skills in drawing, painting, and seeing.

My current goal is to continue exploration of various materials and to exercise the design muscle by creating daily mixed media pieces, using them to guide my larger works.

All of my proceeds from sales are donated to Cancer CAREpoint
