Alyssa Jackson

I create my art as an outlet for expressing my ideas and opinions. I do this because I am not very well spoken, due to anxiety. It is easier for me to display my thoughts through my artworks rather than presenting them with spoken words. In addition, the works are often of a political nature for which language might not be the most suitable form of communication.

My process entails sketching, planning, and research. The materials I choose and the techniques I utilize are unique to each piece. I work with a wide range of materials, as well as a wide range in themes, which have varied from the humane slaughter of animals, to our perceived control over nature, to social distancing due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
