For the past twenty years, Maggie Jackson has been a professional photographer and award winning graphic designer. In addition to running a successful graphic design business, she has earned her masters degree in fine art, taught art appreciation and design at Platte College and Pittsburg State University.

Maggie also spent a year in Korea. Her cultural anthropology studies of early Buddhist art and oriental cultures have had in impact on her work. She has been influenced by a variety of artists which include Aubrey Beardsley, Cezanne, Andy Warhol, Jacques-Louis David, Caspar David Friedrich, J.M.W. Turner, Piet Mondrian, and Hokusai. Conservation and the human effect on our world play an important part in her work as well.

This year, she has begun the task of building a body of work that she feels is true to her personal creative vision and making the transition to a full time art career. She uses her photography as a springboard for ideas and reference material for her printmaking. Current projects include an exploration of lines found in natural wood grains as well as the repetition of other lines and forms found in nature.

Maggie is a member of the Lubbock Arts Alliance, the Art League of West Texas, Women Printmakers of Austin and listed on the Texas Artist Directory.
