Annette Jackson Art

My art is about color, shapes, and composition.

The lampwork beads are radiant, exuberant, and joyful. The juxtaposition of a variety of seemingly unrelated colors and forms create a lively visual play. I use traditional and unusual playful shapes. Each bead is uniquely crafted; each one is a work of art in its own right. These items are then combined into jewelry that enchant the wearer and viewer both.

My Masks are both whimsical and dramatic. I am inspired by my diverse Native American, African and Eastern European roots. Using wood as my base, I arrange elements of lampwork, fused glass, metals, and enameled pieces to create Masks that are colorful, dramatic, and powerful. Some pieces feel symbolic and celebratory while others express attitude and character. These Masks make me smile, contemplate, question, and bring me hope. I hope they do the same for you.

I was born and raised in The Bronx, NY and graduated from NYU with a BA in Art Education. I have lived on both U.S. coasts and several cities between.
