David W. Jackson was born in 1951 in Ogden, Utah. Working primarily in
watercolors and oils, he is known for his richly colored
impressionistic paintings of wildlife and landscape. He has also
created bronze sculptures with western themes. He lives in Mountain
Green, Utah.
Jackson earned a bachelors degree from
Weber State University where he studied under Farrell Collett; he later
earned a masters of fine arts from Utah State University. Jackson
divided his time between two careers—professional artist and high
school teacher—for 27 years. Since retiring as a teacher in 2000, he
has focused his energy on his own art.
Ferdinand’s Door (1997) was featured in the Springville
Museum of Art spring salon.
