The Jacksons original content:

Welcome to Vibrant Art

Vibrant art is “My practice of using bright colors in vibratory or wave like patterns, to create new positive feelings and ideas.” This art was developed by studying Medicine, Philosophy, and Imagination. Combining mandala art & Zen doodles, with randomly picked colors to fill the void of the page or canvass with beauty and joy.

Vibrant Art & My Mental Health

Vibrant art developed through depression and trauma was my coping skill, helping me fight depression from high school well my through young adult life. I practiced several professional Craft skills in various trades such as General Construction, HVAC/R, Carpentry and Electrical Engineering in the U.S. ARMY. During these careers I ceased to make any art or poetry, going another depression. After leaving the military, Vibrant Art once again saved me this time in Acrylic paint which inspired me to do my first art show. I now serve the community as a Mobile Crisis peer support for interior Alaska’s vulnerable population.

"Art imitates life."

Does your space feel gloomy?

Mental health is important. When we are depressed our vision gets worse and we see less colors. Often we might walk into a room with lights and activity and it still looks dark to us, or when loved ones are depressed they seem “darker” than usual almost like a shadow is hugging them. Vibrant Art works to dispel gloomy rooms and attitudes, like people each piece is unique in its ability to help someone. Placing Vibrant Art into perspective radiating colors and patterns that bring Joy and Inspiration.

I started this quite awhile ago but it still ain't finished. Is it lack of inspiration? Or my own procrastination? Just can't tell.

Been awhile since I've posted but building an empire takes time and patience, which I haven't had much of until now. Gonna try and set up a glowing art show

My intention was to #draw a cube. Halfway through this project I became extremely frustrated because it didn't look like the cube I imagined. Around that time I almost threw this project away, I took a long break and continued confidently trusting my intuition. After I finished it it took me awhile to realize it actually was a #cube, it was #multidimensional and I had drawn several cubes as well as the larger cube which they refracted from. #freestyle #coloredpencil check out my YouTube for the full video

When you look at something, it looks back at you. Almost like there's a handshake between you the viewer and the artwork itself.

Here's the "Sea of Mind." This sketching freestyle with a mechanical pencil thing is really cool. Like my mind and body just make this stuff and I watch it happen. I'll make a few posters I think it'll look cool.

I haven't made any art for a few weeks now, after watching some YouTube I remembered or realized why. I had decided to make Art a career but shortly after doing that, my "just for fun" creative style slowly faded into the back of my mind and it became more about impressing viewers than simply enjoying myself. Well today I grabbed a pencil and decided to forget what viewers think and just make ART like I want. About an hour of scribbling crazily with said pencil I've birthed this piece. It's still not done but I'm pretty happy with it and myself right now so I decided to share it
Although a tree loses its leaves during the fall it doesn't remain bare. Trees grow winter coats made from snow and ice, making them look otherworldly with a ghostly appearance. I think it's the most beautiful thing about winter in Alaska, it's truly
