Kenneth Jackson is a photographer-artist and printmaker who lives in Carrboro, North Carolina. In the past several years his work has begun to gain wider recognition, has been included in numerous exhibitions throughout the US, and has found its way into private collections. Jackson’s photographs are poetic visual meditations on his subjects, whether place, nature, objects, time, the human figure, and combinations of any of those.
