Description

A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, Jackson enjoyed working with his hands as a professional carpenter. In his free time he painted, sculpted, drew, and made prints. A complex abstraction, Green Goddess features compositional elements that suggest both the natural world and the built environment.
