BIOGRAPHY

Derek Jackson is a Pop artist who lives in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Jackson took a few art classes in high school but other than that, he is a self-taught artist. He has learned techniques in acrylic painting, pottery, and glassblowing. Jackson has been mastering his skills since he was little. He has always been drawn to art but has been making a career out of it for the last two years. To take it to the next level, Jackson enrolled in the Visionary Art Collective Glow Up Program taught by Victoria J. Fry.

Through his work, Jackson explores the concepts of loneliness, longing, and nostalgia through the sweet and colorful lens of Pop Art and discusses the effects social media has on the human psyche.

Jackson has been featured in Artio Gallery’s online gallery Global Horizons: A Celebration of Artistic Expression. His work can be found in ArtistCloseup Magazine #16, Visual Art Journal, and New Visionary as well as Lady Gaga’s Super Deluxe Fame Monster Edition of the CD. He was also featured in ArtistCloseup’s interview written by Adelé Kotzé.

Jackson is a member of the Arts Council of the Valley, the D.C. Art Center, the Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, and the New Visionary Directory. His work can also be found  private collections throughout the United States and exhibits throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
