The Light Bearer
Welcome to the Light Bearer, a brand new website that I Richard Jackson have created to exhibit my artwork and to also offer many future mystical and psychic abilities to help inspire & shine my light.

About me
Hi, I’m Richard Jackson, and have now decided to try and promote & showcase my artwork which is what I love mostly in life, I love creating traditional artwork using oils & acrylic paints and now also at the moment using my iPad to create lots of imaginative artwork from my inner mind & third eye.

I have never been able to live a normal life like most people and just couldn’t work in the same way or do most jobs at what other people do in life. I tried to integrate & fit into ordinary life but always felt like an alien on a different planet.

My aim with this website is not only to publish my psychic third eye esoteric outsider artwork, I also want to have my own space online to write about my feelings and to express in-depth about my visions and creations.

This website is still new and fresh & I aim to be developing it daily with new personal creative projects and to be adding new content & services to this website throughout its growth and hope to also create a YouTube channel with videos with many mystical and spiritual discussions.

Curriculum Vitae

Richard Jackson

Visionary Artist, Filmmaker & Creative Seer

About Me

I am an outsider artist and intuitive creator whose work explores the symbolic, unseen and emotional realms of human experience. As a visual thinker and neurodivergent creative, my process is instinctive rather than academic, guided by inner imagery, mystical impressions and experimental research across multiple mediums.

My practice spans painting, sculpture, 3D modelling, photography, filmmaking, storytelling and digital design. I am drawn to work that challenges perception, reveals hidden forces, and invites audiences into deeper personal reflection.
