“I want to create art that your family will fight over at a funeral.”

My name is Colin Ryne Jackson and I’m a native Tennessean with a passion for great portrait art. 
While having received some collegiate training in art at Vol State and MTSU, I am mostly self-taught. I am a strong proponent of enhancing life through continuous learning, and my work is the fruit of the enjoyment I’ve gotten from years of thorough practicing. 
My belief is that God has many roles that He shares with us, and among them is His love of creating. Furthermore, among all of the wonderful things He’s created, I believe some of us are drawn to create specific parts of His world. I happen to love painting people. 
So, I want to paint your people. The best way I can think of to share my gift is to provide you with a hand-painted beautiful memory you can treasure as a keepsake, or offer as a gift to someone you care about. A portion of every single purchase will go to Christ-serving charities that care for those in need. This way, I get to do what I love, you get a custom piece of art, and we both get to help others in the process. Thank you for reading this and thank you for any commissions I may provide for you. 
Remember, God’s gifts are from Him and for Him. Use what you have to make a difference.
