The Art of

Chester County

Robert Jackson
BY DR. BRUCE A. COLLEY
PRESIDENT OF CHESTER COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

V

ia an introduction from one of our previously
featured artists, Randall Graham, I ventured from
Downingtown following the scenic Route 162 to
Kennett Square. There I found this issue's featured artist
at his studio filled with what can only be described as fun,
color-rich paintings. His relaxed yet impishly good-natured
personality matched his sunlit studio. A hybrid of Mr.
Rogers and Baba O'Riley if you will (please see rendering
of Robert in his studio by colleague Heather Davis, another
previously featured artist, who captures him and his studio
perfectly). With a breath of fresh air and upbeat material
Robert Jackson is just the artist to feature in this COVIDoppressed time. So how did his life as an artist evolve?
Robert told me that he always knew he loved drawing and
painting and that his " aha moment " came the first time he
held a brush as a child, though he never considered art as
a career until college. With some coaxing he revealed the
real story to me. It was his then-girlfriend, now wife who
recognized his passion and bought him a set of oil paints
during his senior year at the University of Delaware. This
prompted him to take an elective in painting, his first and
only formal art course. From that point on it became his
passion. Understanding that he needed to " make a living, "
Robert did graduate from the University of Delaware with a
degree in Electrical Engineering, then worked for five years
