About

   Malaney Jackson, now living and creating in the heart of Los Angeles, California, was born and raised amidst the rolling landscapes of North Carolina. From her early years, she was deeply immersed in the natural beauty of the East, but it was the sweeping, sun-drenched vistas and the bold, saturated colors of the West Coast that truly captivated her artistic spirit. Her work is also profoundly shaped by the innovative sculptures of Ken Price, whose exploration of form, texture, and color resonates deeply with Malaney's approach to art, blending the organic with the unexpected.

   

About her art Malaney has this to say:

  "I’ve never really been able to make rough drafts of my art. I like my ideas to manifest as they go, for something organic and erratic. I like there to be an intensity both in the process and in the finished piece. This is why color and bold dark lines are so important in my work.
   My daily goal is to aspire to be apricity; the feeling of the sun’s warmth in the winter. I want my art to feel this way too. Something comforting and satisfying. Something uplifting amidst the bad. Designs that are all inclusive, freedom from the oppressors.

   That being said as happy as the colors and subject matter may seem, I tend to paint about the American peril of inevitable isolation from capitalist structures. You are alone in cities, in canyons, in death, in your room. Public or private spaces don't matter. There is a saturation of exposure, work, and apathy. Just empty spaces with eeire echos of humanity via cars, buildings, etc. Basically none of us actually matter so just be quiet and enjoy the pretty colors."
