With Gallery Opening, Local Artist Creates Masterpieces from Places Right Under Our Noses

Local artist Fred Jackson, whose work focuses on the alleyways and one-way roads of West Chester, Pennsylvania, is opening a solo exhibition at the Church Street Gallery on January 9, 2026. Jackson, who grew up on Franklin Street and began painting only about ten years ago, creates his works en plein air and in his studio, drawing inspiration from the borough's often-overlooked backstreets and architecture. The exhibition will feature dozens of oil paintings and run until February 28.
