Mike Jackson was born in 1962 into a working class Manchester family. He grew up in a warm family environment with honest values. He left school with few qualifications but with a love of art. After a wide and varied career path he eventually pursued the artistic path and became a Graphic designer. He was quite a successful watercolour artist for many years and was pushed by a friend who has a gallery in Somerset to try out acrylics. This he did, and to his surprise absolutely loved them. He continues to paint in both of these mediums today. He is married with two fabulous children and one grandson, who all keep his feet on the ground. He moved to Somerset in 1999 which was fabulous for his artistic inspiration, as the colours and the local sounds of the countryside really helped to free up his mind. Mike was a published artist with Washington Green in 2006 and again published in 2012 with Buckingham Fine Art. His work is now in lots of private collections in the UK.
