Kate Jackson

Artist Statement

ABOUT KATE JACKSON…
A fourth generation native Californian, Kate Jackson has painted almost exclusively in fluid water media for nearly 40 years. She has a bold, free, expressive style of painting, and is known for her use of vivid colors, her keen sense of design and variety of canvas shapes and materials. Her paintings are vibrant abstract images that transform artist and viewer alike.
Kate moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2023 to be near her son and grandchildren following the death of her musician husband, Roddy Jackson in December 2022.
My “muse” takes many forms over my body of work. It can be an object, a landscape feature, an emotion. a figurative image, a technique, a medium, a color, or a motif.
The excitement of fluid acrylic painting for me is created by the vibrant color, the textural variations and the designs issuing from various fluid techniques and experimentation. This work is a culmination of the variety of media I’ve loved and worked with over four decades! I hope you enjoy the journey with me into the “landscapes of my mind 2.0” on canvas and the new addition of whimsical and beautiul neurographic drawings on paper inspired by desert life!
