KIRA YOUNG JACKSON

Kira Young Jackson is an American artist, writer, curator, and spiritual seeker whose work aims to bridge the worlds of painting, spirit, and experience. As the Operations Director at The CAN Foundation, she collaborates with artists to curate, produce, and execute exhibitions and programming that fosters transformation through creative expression and community upliftment.

Jackson's work explores common themes that exist throughout the world and across time, pointing to beings, stories, and myth that communicate the experience and realization of divinity. Her work is shaped by a deep connection to and fascination with the unseen forces and consciousness that shape and create human experience. Through painting and compilation of messaging and teachings, she explores spiritual masters across cultures and time, uncovering these shared themes and working to engage viewers in a way that uplifts their experience through the practical application of vital teachings offered by these masters.

At the heart of her practice is Messages from the Masters, an evolving body of work that honors spiritual masters and their teachings through portraiture, oracle cards, and books for practical application. Kira aims to create spaces and tools where transformation and revelation can emerge—whether in the intimacy and vitality of the masters that a painting portrays or the consciousness and teachings that that they point to.
