Jackson Reed, based in Portland, Oregon, has a deep connection to the Pacific Northwest’s landscapes. Growing up in a family of hikers and birdwatchers, Jackson developed an early appreciation for the natural world, which continues to inspire his art.

Known for his use of earthy tones and textured layers, Jackson’s work focuses on animals like wolves, salmon, and owls. His technique involves blending acrylics with organic materials such as sand and bark, creating tactile, three-dimensional pieces. His acclaimed series, Echoes of the Wild, has been displayed at galleries throughout the United States, earning him the Northwest Artist of the Year award in 2021.

Jackson’s philosophy is rooted in mindfulness and sustainability. Through his art, he hopes to foster a deeper connection between people and nature, encouraging conservation and responsible living.
