Jake Jackson Studied at Carlisle School of Art where I specialised in Painting and then at Liverpool School of Art In London I worked as photographer/ designer for CBS Records mainly on Record Album covers. Exhibited at various group shows in 60’s. Landscape prize from Royal Academy. My interest in Early and Baroque music lead to playing in various groups and researching and making instruments, mainly plucked instruments such as lutes. Moved to Sutherland in 1976. Focused more on painting influenced by local landscape and sea. Moved to Hamble and worked on restoring classic yachts. 1984 Sailed to Antigua and worked on yacht restoration there. Moved back to Sutherland and started painting again. Ran a small community gallery for arts and crafts. Solo exhibition in Eden Court 1991 Moved to Renfewshire to open gallery/ arts workshop facility. Worked on video projects for Projectability in Glasgow. 1997 Worked for RNIB organising audio recording and video projects. Recently been working on video projects in theatre, corporate information and community arts. Moved to Kilcreggan in 1997 and influenced by the proximity to the sea I have been painting as much as possible. I have spent a lot of time living by the sea and trying to capture the particular light and movement in various ways. Photography has played a major part but at the moment painting is the most rewarding option. I find myself working towards a way of reflecting subtleties of colour and movement without being tied to portraying realistic pictorial elements.
