About Me
- R. Jackson Art
- R. Jackson, a visual artist and designer, is known among his colleagues as someone with a strong work ethic not afraid to push boundaries. Jackson says "I am constantly surveying my mind for ideas that can be expanded or improved. I am also trying to find the spaces where new ones can exist." Jackson's visual art is in the permanent collections of the Miami-Dade Public Library System and the Adrienne Arsht Center. In 2010 he built a 17 foot robot entitled "The Guardian of vinyl" made out of recycled vinyl records and album covers that is currently at the Fort Myers International Airport. Jackson's most recent project , a book entitled "How to Reach Your God Zone; An Instruction Manual" is based on his 2008 installation of the same name. This illustrated workbook uses a unique universal approach to invite readers of any or no faith to have a personal spiritual experience. Jackson currently teaches at the Ocean Reef Art League and lives in Homestead with his wife and two children.
