About


Jacqui Dodds          

Jacqui Dodds' artistic practice revolves around memories of places visited and the objects within them. Images and feelings of these spaces are then then retraced and relived to create an essence in print and painting. 

In the autumn of 2016 she exhibited  'Reveal, Conceal' at BPN Architects in Birmingham and produced a series of six new screen prints that are inspired by the area around the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.  

Some of her artwork is exhibited in museums and heritage venues, at present she has prints in Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery and has been part of a touring exhibition of a ‘Cabinet of Curiosity’ partly funded by  Arts Council England. Jacqui has also been involved in art projects including Wightwick Manor for the National Trust and Enter Arts culminating in an exhibition in the house and garden.

Alongside this Jacqui delivers print workshops and has created a range of stationery and textiles from her own designs, some of which has reflected the spaces in which she has been researching.

Jacqui lives in Shropshire and is a member of Birmingham Printmakers.
Awards include being a finalist in the neo:Print Prize, and the Nottingham Castle Open exhibition Prize as well as receiving Arts Council England, Grants for the Arts funding.
