Audrey Jackson

Art is my means of taking the negative or sometimes positive overflow of emotion coming from the mental as well as physical ailment into the real world. In many ways my art can be taken in by the viewer as a visual representation of what goes on in the mind and what has trouble making its way out in any other form besides artistic expression. Because the things I make are usually from my own repressions or explosions it is difficult for my art to be transferred into a logical explanation unless analyzed like a dream. I consider my art to be a mixing pot of my own delusions, frustrations, dreams, overwhelming feelings, thought patterns, and my spiritual beliefs purged into a mixture of colors, characters, and cryptic symbols. My art has helped me survive myself since a very young age. In my art I have never wanted anything more than to lead the viewer to relate their own feelings to mine, and hopefully lead the viewer to express themselves in their own artistic way.

Name, Title

Audrey Jackson (she, her, hers) is a multidisciplinary artist, painter, photographer, and musician from a small town on the central coast. Her art reflects how she sees the world both subconsciously and through film photography. She studied abroad in France with UC Davis in 2016, gained her BFA from CalArts in 2020, and her MFA from CGU in 2025. During her studies Audrey has been awarded Excellence in Visual and Performing Arts from Family Partnership Charter School, 1st place packaging and design from Wine Business Monthly for her illustrations, and the 2025 Joe Sonneman Photography Prize from CGU. Most recently her work focuses on turning her very raw film photos of friends and family into paintings that express her loved ones through patterned silhouettes rather than their flesh. Her work is highly influenced by complex human emotion and the need to express her personal experience in a way that transcends words. As she continues this series of work her next goal is teaching neuroarts, which explores how artistic expression affects our health and wellbeing.
