About Matthew Jackson
MATTHEW JACKSON, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA
Current project: LIVE Mural Painting
(October 3 - October 12 2025)
LOCATION: VBFD Fire Station on 17th StreetMatthew Jackson was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 1981. He has been in art since he was able to pick up a pencil. This was about the time he first discovered he had a talent in drawing. Anything he could do to push the boundaries of art is what he pursued with a fiery passion. His work combines elements from all his extensive research and practice with a fresh modern flare. Ever-evolving artist Matthew seeks extreme challenges to bring his works past what he thought was possible.
When he was in second grade, his art teacher noticed his advanced artistic abilities and put him in a special class for extra training. After winning a citywide contest (designing the USS Tortuga ship seal), in which were first graders through college-level students, Matthew's art teacher immediately recommended that he be placed into an art program at Old Donation Center (ODC), a school for the gifted and talented.
Matthew started his professional mural business Dreams 2 Reality in February 2002. Over 23 years of experience has led him into countless schools/colleges/universities, including ones in Norfolk, Suffolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach, as well as across the United States of America. Due to the successful completion and quality of those murals, Matthew is often asked to do several more projects following the initial creation.
Matthew's artistic work has led him to murals, canvas painting, logos, sculpture painting, floor murals, window paintings, carving, sculpting, creative artistic landscaping, creative home renovation, etc. He is eager to produce various styles of art and techniques from abstract to surrealism, on his quest to perfect his craft, and to continue his defining career in art.
