Jackson earned a bachelor’s degree in education at Northeastern Oklahoma State\, while also studying with several area artists\, before pursuing his interest in photography through continued studies at the University of New Mexico. In 1994\, Jackson received a Master of Fine Arts in photography from San Francisco Art Institute. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and grants including a residential fellowship at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito\, California; a Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Grant for excellence in the photographic arts\, which culminated with an exhibition\, “Entering Zig’s Indian Reservation\,” at the American Indian Contemporary Arts center in San Francisco; a National Millennium Survey Grant; and the inaugural Beaumont Newhall Award for Photographic Excellence from the New Mexico Humanities Council. In 2005\, Jackson became the first Native American photographer collected by the Library of Congress\, when twelve of his images were accessioned by its Prints and Photographs Division. Jackson has taught photography at Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, at San Francisco State University and UC Davis\, and beginning in 1999 at the Savannah College of Art and Design\, where he is now professor emeritus. \nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission.
