About the artist: George Jackson’s Folk Art style allows him to experiment with many real and imagined experiences. Born to sharecroppers on a farm in Omaha, Georgia, Jackson’s work interpolates his rural upbringing and his extensive travels in the army & as a sales manager. In his work you will see various landscapes inspired by his travels. They include religious, transport, marine, metropolitan, rural and country subjects. The primary purpose of his work is to inspire his viewers / followers and show the diversity of his craft. Jackson has been teaching and displaying his work as an artist since 2013.
