Jackson's style has been described as colorful, uplifting and powerful. He's also known for uniting different parts of Louisville through his work.
"One of them is the horse, more about celebrating the actual Pegasus that's kind of attached to the Kentucky Derby Festival," Jackson said. "The next one is just for Louisville citizens and natives here and stuff, just kind of coming together, people that kind of came from different places that settled here and kind of made their stamp and stuff."
