Richard Jacksties, has been creating imaginative pictures in a variety of mediums for over 20 years. He moved to Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada from St.Catharines, Ontario in 1999, and continues to use pencil, pen, watercolor, acrylic and oil paints to create imagery that has been described as fantasy, surreal, mystical and visionary.
For inspiration, Richard reads up on comparative religions, cultural anthropology and psychology, and also turns to the world of nature for ideas. Occasionally, his images echo traditional mythological themes from one culture or another, with personal symbols also emerging from his own psyche during the act of creation. Overall, his art records a journey through dream-like worlds in search of spiritual identity.
