Carson Jackson
Carson Jackson is a contemporary abstract artist whose work is a reflection of his life's journey: a treasure hunt of experiences, moments, and images, each lovingly transmuted into his art. His aim is to redefine the visual landscape of his audience, creating unique pieces that challenge conventional interpretive abilities. With a technique that is ever-evolving and guided by his curiosity and an inclination towards the unusual, Carson’s artworks — often created with mixed media and found objects — resonate with the interplay of darkness and light, illustrating life's trials in a poetry of visual narrative. As the son of a Cuban refugee, he has embarked on an extraordinary journey that has spanned both geographically and professionally.
Jackson's travels have taken him from the seaside gardens of Ogunquit, Maine to the fierce El Salvadorian surf, through the Fjords of Norway, and notably during his influential period living in the Outer Banks, where he absorbed techniques and styles from artists worldwide who welcomed him without hesitation and generously shared their knowledge and experience. Prior to his career in art, Jackson worked as a model in Central America and as a creative director, experiences that further enhanced his artistic sensibilities. Today, his work graces galleries, cafes, and restaurants along the coast of Maine, New Hampshire, and the Outer Banks. The impact of his work can even be felt in surprising corners worldwide, testament to his broad artistic reach.
