SIMONETTE DAVID JACKSON

creates intricate pen-and-ink drawings, which she often transforms into three-dimensional collage pieces. Inspired by the local flora and fauna of her San Fernando Valley neighborhood and portraits of her friends and family, Jackson's work is rich with personal narrative and symbolism. Through recurring visual motifs, she weaves together themes of motherhood, family, nature, and everyday miracles.

Sixteen!!! May all your wishes come true.🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 The reference photo is Jonah as a toddler looking at a pile of toys. Not necessarily a mess, but I don't remember why he was pouting. So... what to call this piece? It's part of the "whelmed" series. On a local level, it's like looking at a "Whelmed 1," 24" x 19," paper diorama. Inspired by my daily life 😂😂😂. The funny thing is I am at my best when I have loads to do. Though these times are something else altogether. Doing art saves my mind from emotional outburst "Olive and Her Petals," 24" × 19," a paper diorama. I drew my neice, Olive, a few years back for another project.
