Robyn Jackson-The Artist

 Robyn Jackson is an Australian contemporary colourist and textile artist whose practice explores the reflection of light, local flora and fauna and the natural landscape. Deeply connected to the Australian environment—from the sprawling, rich tones of the Outback to the fluid rhythms of the East Coast beaches, to the beauty of her surrounding bush gardens—her work translates the ordinary into the extraordinary, consistently evoking a joyful and uplifting emotional response from viewers.

Fascinated by colour, design, and fabrics from an early age, Jackson began her creative journey experimenting with batik before formalizing her studies with a degree in Textiles and Design. Following a dedicated career as a textile’s educator, she transitioned to a full-time studio practice. While highly skilled in oils and watercolours, her signature medium is painting on silk. Captivated by the fluidity of the dyes as they flow, blend, and react, Jackson utilizes a precise gutta outline technique combined with a vivid, complementary palette to build high-contrast, layered narratives. Jackson has been painting on silk her favoured medium for over 45 years.

An award-winning artist with eleven solo exhibitions to her credit, Jackson has exhibited widely across regional New South Wales. Her artistic merit has been recognized with the First Prize in Painting at the Crescent Head Surf Art Exhibition, Second in Mixed Media at Hastings Fine Art Exhibition, Highly Commended In ASSMA as well as Commendation at the South West Rocks Open ASSMA and selection for the prestigious Northern Exposure 6 biennial at the Glasshouse Regional Gallery.

Based on the Mid North Coast, Jackson works from her home gallery, creating original artworks, fine art prints, and hand-painted silks scarves, while sharing her expertise through regular silk painting masterclasses. Jackson has sold over 189 paintings of the 390 produced to date.

Jackson is now enjoying life as a full time artist exhibiting regularly, working on commissions as well as running Silk Painting classes and workshops. Canvas prints, limited edition prints, hand painted scarves and artist cards are also available to purchase.
