Austin-based artist and graphic designer, Cara Jackson, celebrates nature through vibrant art. By combining her painting and design skills, she creates colorful, bold, and fun acrylic paintings based on photos she’s taken while adventuring outdoors.
Her love of nature has inspired her to visit national and state parks, where she camps and hikes in search of inspiration. Cara continues to travel to visit our public parks and supports nonprofits working to conserve natural spaces.
