Biography:
Loyd Jackson is the son of artist Reggie Jackson (deceased) a well know painter of Papulankutja Artists. Through our emerging artists outreach program to Jameson community Loyd has taken up painting following in his father's footsteps.
The Emerging Artist's Program was set up to encourage inter-generational learning between new and established artists whilst also allowing the younger generation and new indigenous community members an opportunity to participate in the market economy of painting.
