Jakki Annerino is a mixed-media artist and singer/songwriter living in Kitchener, ON. She grew up in Chicago, Illinois and Phoenix, Arizona.
Making art has been a lifelong passion for Jakki. She creates encaustic paintings, altered art jewelry and greeting cards. She incorporated various remnants and relics, both natural and vintage into her work.
She finds encaustic an intriguing medium as it allows for layering, creating textures and luminosity. Encaustic medium is made with beeswax and damar resin. Oil paint is then added for colour.
She likes to convey a sense of whimsy and memory in many of her pieces.
She is inspired by nature, literature, music and personal relationships.

Making art has been a lifelong passion for Jakki. She creates encaustic (wax) collage, glass collage pendants, altered books, greeting cards and recently started making hammered copper jewelry. She incorporates various remnants and relics, both natural and vintage in her work.

She finds encaustic (beeswax and damar resin mixed with oil paint) an intriguing medium as it allows for layering, creating textures and using beautiful colours. When painting with encaustic she works intuitively starting with a single element such as a vintage photo.

Jakki is a mostly self-taught artist who likes to convey a sense of whimsy and history in her artwork. She makes collage pendants, wall jewellery, altered books, and greeting cards incorporating various remnants and relics, both natural and vintage, in her work. She is drawn to artifacts from other people’s lives that have been discarded such as old photos, books, antique lace and letters. A dragonfly wing, a bird feather or an intriguing bit of rusted metal may also somehow find its way into her art. She also makes photo greeting cards. Jakki is now exploring encaustic collage and hopes to have several pieces ready for the Central Art Walk.
