Vincent Jackson is an artist affiliated with Creativity Explored of San Francisco, an organization that “encourage[s] and assist[s] people with disabilities to fulfill their life’s ambitions through the creative process and become as independent as possible.” Creativity Explored quotes Jackson as describing his art in this way:  “My stuff I do comes from within.  My art’s part of me.  It shows – it brings up a whole identity of myself.  I’m not asking for a person to pat me on the back or anything.  It’s just what I know is good art. That’s why people come here – to buy our art, to appreciate our art and hang it in their homes...instead of thinking it’s a blunder.  It’s not.  It’s what we are.”
