Bill Jackson is a highly accomplished artist who has created visual identities in two worlds
He is first and best known as one who is at home in nature and feels a deep calling to portray its beauty and mystery. As an avid photographer, when on hunting expeditions or outdoor treks, he is constantly gathering visual material that will find itself translated into acrylic or egg tempera onto canvas.
Jackson is also an ever-curious artist, not hesitant to opening doors into abstraction. His recent compositions of lines and textured, glowing surfaces still possess a quality of a thriving force of nature.
Jackson, a native of Drew, Mississippi, attended Mississippi Delta Community College and received further training at Ringling School of Art and Design.
He later became a member of the United States Army Parachute Team, The Golden Knights, where he became a world champion, but he continued refining his painting skills and even created several lithographs for the team and was also commissioned to do a painting for the Delta Force Scholarship Fund.
