Sag Harbor’s Ruby Jackson has created a large and distinctive body of work in wood, ceramic, paper, pen and ink, and polymer clay. Her imagery is inspired by natural forms which she abstracts and explores. In them, one can see her love of the east end, and particularly her interest in underwater sea environments. On view are Jackson’s miniature sculptures of food and under water seascapes created in multi-media.
Jackson’s work has been exhibited in galleries in New York City, Long Island, and Sarasota, Florida. Jackson was featured in “Takeover,” at the Southampton Art Center in 2019 where she shared her artistic process along with her work.
