Hello! My Name is Joyous Jackson, and I am an artist from Richmond, VA. I appreciate the process of experimentation in my artwork, with a focus on growth and development overtime. I've worked with various mediums, typically dealing with themes of self-identity, childhood, nostalgia, mental health awareness, and activism. I take a lot of my inspiration from children's book illustration, and imagery! I am heavily motivated by my personal life experiences, and love to talk about it through my work!
I hope you find something you like :)
I believe that students should know how to use critical thinking skills and apply these skills to certain situations such as, problem solving, analyzing artwork, discussions, collaborative work, etc. In my classroom, I want students to feel like they have a voice and that it is a safe space to express themselves and be who they are.
