Kay Jackson
Using ancient gilded techniques and old master’s oil painting methods, Kay Jackson explores subjects ranging from climate change to the human figure in order to investigate how man, animals and the natural systems are interdependent and connected in an ever evolving web of life. She calls it “the original internet.”
