Growing up in the woods of northern Maine on the banks of the St. John River, Bradley Jackson developed a strong affection for nature which has helped him become one of the most popular wildlife artists in the United States. Jackson’s acrylic paintings are recognized by their painstaking detail and impressionist-like backgrounds. Of his approach, Jackson says, “I have tried to transcend the materials used and the surface worked on to create as much depth and space relationship as possible. If it looks like a photograph, so be it. I enjoy creating an impressionistic background with a very detailed and realistic subject.” His paintings have earned him a loyal and growing audience, and his pieces are in the homes of many private collectors.
