Jackson is an animator who is studying at The Pennsylvania State University. Through his studies, Jackson has created multiple award winning short films. Outside of his classes, he volunteers to assist his professors in holding the Happy Valley Film Fest; as well as lead the other members of the Animation Club at PSU to do the same. He is a passionate and determined artist who values anyone who wishes to express themselves through their work. Whenever he works with others, whether they be artists or not, he pushes both himself and others around him to work with their hearts as well as their heads. 

 

In his free time, Jackson enjoys experiencing the creations of others around himself. Other animated works are his personal favorite to watch; however, he will also study the work of those who do not animate. Many of his hobbies involve pushing his body with the same passion which he makes art. The land, sea, and sky are all places where he sees beauty and where he draws inspiration. It is with this inspiration that Jackson will create many of his strongest pieces.
