Meet Jackie

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to visit my website and learn more about my writing and art adventures.

I make small batch decorative and functional ceramic art, that is inspired by the crafts handed down by the women in my family. Quilting, crochet, knitting, embroidery, sewing and even rug hooking have all been present since my childhood. Transferring this inspiration to clay is a fun and interesting challenge, whether finding new ways to create texture, assemble slab work, or carve yarn-inspired patterns into thrown pieces.

Currently I am writing devotionals, focusing on joy, healing, and encouragement, with a future books including one on creativity in the works. I’ve loved writing since I was a child, so am excited to share my love of writing with the world.

The journey is not only about the destination, but what we experience along the way. Thank you for joining me on this amazing adventure!

I live and work in the traditional territory of the Haudensaunee and Anishnaabeg.  

This territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Treaty,  the Upper Canada Treaties and is directly adjacent to Haldimand Treaty Territory

40 Days of Healing: A Devotional

Released: April 2024

40 Days of Healing - A Devotional

I was first inspired to start writing about healing when a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer and asked me to be a prayer partner for her. I was new to my faith at the time, and had little practice with prayer. Sadly, she lost her battle with cancer, but her faith and many more healing miracles I’ve seen since that time inspired me. This devotional is dedicated to everyone who needs or wants healing, whether physical, emotional, psychological, or spiritual. Prayer should not replace medical attention, but is a wonderful complement to it.

UPCOMING BOOKS


Yes! I Am Creative! (for People Who Don’t Think They’re Creative)

(working title)

Expected Release: Fall 2025

This is a book of encouragement for people who think they are not creative; a roadmap on how to jump into creativity without fear or self-judgement. I wrote this to encourage people who regularly say “Oh I couldn’t do that - you’re so talented, I’m not!” Everyone is creative - but some of us don’t quite know how to start.

Meet Jackie Scott

Jackie Scott lives with her husband, Michael, and their two cats in Ontario, Canada, where she writes and explores various creative adventures, including pottery, watercolour, quilting, crochet, photography, writing, singing, and songwriting.

She loves to share creativity with others, dispelling the myth that only some people are creative, and feels the phrase “I’m not creative” belongs with the phrase “I can’t.” That place is nowhere, because everyone is creative; some of us just don’t know it yet. Creativity takes many forms, and for Jackie it is best described as “Passion in Action.”

She has a background in ceramics, sewing, quilting, crochet, knitting, office administration, and anthropology, and has taken a few classes in painting, stained glass, and mosaics.

Every piece she creates is “perfectly imperfect,” as perfection is an illusion. Each individual piece is a snapshot in time, reflecting the emotions, inspiration, and skill level of that moment.

Her favourite Bible verse is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

It is not the end, but the journey that makes the story. #ArtIsLife
